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.

The first luxury space hotel will open to civilian astronauts in 2021

This article caught my eye because I have always found space very interesting, so when I saw that there will be a hotel in space I had to read about it. The author of this article was very insightful and pretty humorous as well, I found this quote to be quite funny “If you manage to raise the cash to do it (maybe a GoFundMe campaign is in your future?)…”. Just the other day I was watching a video of will smith talking to a man that is in a space station, and I was thinking how cool it would be just to float around, and eat water bubble out of the air. Going to space for 12 days would reveal to the people staying there how it would feel if they were an astronaut.
