Notes The speaker of the poem laments the brutality and war during the Kosovo War, 1998-1999. The lamentation is framed in humanity's supposed superiority over animals, our social nature, and our duty to help others. However, despite these factors, war is still ongoing in Kosovo. Our animalistic, violent natures seem difficult to escape.
