War.

For the brave
The rich and poor
For those who want to escape their cave
As a countries chore

Wives crying
Men dying
Bodies lying
From bullets flying

All for their dignity
All for their family
All for their country

 

War by Lucas Ross-Smith

People with families friends and loved ones will give everything up to fight for them and there country.

The poem War by Lucas Ross-Smith is simply about humans fighting for their country and going to war. In the first stanza Lucas uses a rhyme scheme A B A B A “For the brave/ The rich and poor/ For those who want to escape their cave/ As a countries chore”. and for the next stanza he uses rhyme, the next stanza Lucas uses rhyme and repetition “All for their dignity/ All for their family/ All for their country.” Lucas’s poem is a structured poem and not a open poem.

I think that Lucas’s tone was a pretty satire tone which makes sense since the poem is about war.
I think that Lucas’s poem inside into life is that sometimes making a better change in life isn’t the easiest thing to do but it sure is the right thing to do, even if it mean that you have to leave family friends or loved ones.
