Notes	This poem clearly references the Iraq War of 2003. The spring has been baptised with blood in this year, as the conflict rages on in the Middle East. The speaker of the poem comments about the false morality of 'might versus right' as well, stating that if reasons would triumph over, none of this fighting would happen.
