Dulce Et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen

Back then, during WW2, soldiers and citizens had a common idea that war is a picturesque condition to go through, and that joining the military is entertaining and a striking act to do for your country, but then poets and ideologies started to rise and spread indicating that such ideas are immoral, and that they had brainwashed people, and by writing poems, they started to diminish such fake exterior of war, and started to share the actual truth about it, contradicting other poets who wrote about the beauty of war and urged young men to enlist to military. Fighting for your country, in some poet's perspective, is a glorious act, but a dreadful act to others perspective. The two poems I'm looking at are "No More Hiroshimas" by James Kirkup and "Dulce Et Decorum Est." by Wilfred Owen. James Kirkup was born on April 23, 1918 in South Shields on the River Tyne. He wrote his first book of poems, The Drowned Sailor, in 1947. James's most well known poem is "A Correct Compassion". He was an objector during WW2 and his poems allotment and got renowned through time. No More Hiroshimas, one of his poems, is basically about important events that occurred during WW2. It's about events that repetitively occurred and had changed the world with them, events that take away the innocence of the world we live in between cruel and evil human beings who were once obedient and sympathetic. It's about the poet, James Kirkup, who had visited the first city that got hit by an atomic bomb. The poem urges us to remember this terrible event. No More Hiroshimas discusses the first American atomic bomb that was dropped in 1945. Written from the point of view of the poet, as a tourist who was visiting the city to be hit by an atomic bomb. We can notice within the poem the tone of disappointment throughout the poem as he was travelling for the purpose to see how the city was like after the atomic bomb destroyed it completely.
