| Notes | The speaker of the poem describes the events of the Gulf War. The opening of the poem details the massive military arsenal of the United States, with the names of various military equipment listed out by the speaker of the poem. This is described as 'deadly technology' in the poem, and details are given about the bombing attacks on Baghdad, the oil wells destroyed, the thousands of people killed on the battlefield - all watched on a billion televisions. |
