| Paratext Text | (Ina gcuirtear agallamh ar shaighdiúir marbh) |
| Notes | An 'interview' from Baghdad: here Krishnamurphy interviews a dead soldier, who claims that his brother has killed him - they didn't speak the same language or even recognise each other. Did his brother really kill him, or could this be an allegory for the actions of humanity in warfare? Either way, the dead soldier in the poem notes that the world has been filled with absolute hate - to the extent that his 'brother' didn't kill him - 'hate' itself did. The poem likely refers to the War on Terror and invasion of Iraq. |
