| Notes | This poem describes a dispute between the speaker of the poem and his brother, who enlisted to fight in Vietnam for America in order to earn a proper wage. The speaker of the poem doesn't support his choice, leading to blows between them, but fortunately his brother didn't have to fight in the end. The title of the poem, which references 'Conscience', implies that the speaker of the poem has a somewhat anti-war stance, which is why he tries to dissuade his brother from joining up. |
