| Notes | This poem, written in the third person, focuses on modern-day warfare. It appears to reference US foreign policy and the use of drones in combat. The life of the person ordering the attacks, going about his civilized, normal, bloodless day, as he sees it, is contrasted with the brutality of the outcome for civilians in a distant, unnamed place. This is likely a reference to the 'War on Terror'. |
