Poetry, Wilfred Owen




06-28 - 1914
Archduke Franz Ferdinand (heir-apparent to the throne of Austria-Hungary) is Assassinated in the city of Sarajevo along with wife “Sophie”.

Wilfred Owen (1893-1918)
"Anthem for a Doomed Youth"

What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?
--Only the monstrous anger of the guns.
 Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisons.
No mockeries for them from prayers or bells,
 Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs,-
The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells;
 And bugles calling for them from sad shires.

What candles may be held to speed them all?
 Not in the hands of boys, but in their eyes
Shall shine the holy glimmers of goodbyes.
 The pallor of girls' brows shall be their pall;
Their flowers the tenderness of silent minds,
And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds.

The total number of casualties in World War I, both military and civilian, were about 37 million: 16 million deaths and 21 million wounded. The total number of deaths includes 9.7 million military personnel and about 6.8 million civilians.

We human beings like nothing better than killing each other or getting other human beings to do the killing for us. I think as a species we really suck. This post, which you worked hard at, just shows this to be true.

Despite history and the long list of wars we continue to never learn the lesson that there are never any winners in war.
Thank you for this powerful post!

I cannot find the right words to express how great this post is. Thank you.

This slams you in the face.
thank you...................from you this really means something. I actually considered putting up the list on its own and presenting it as a poem in its own right................it makes grim reading

Funny you should say that... it's exactly how I feel. I know two boys who used to attend the school where I work. I worked closely with with these boys from about the age of 12. They both left school last year, one to join the army, one to the navy. They are both 17 now and I live in dread of seeing their names on TV. Of the most recent 5 men brought back in coffins from Afghanistan the youngest was 18, the next 20, these are little more than children and we send them off to die.............words fail me.................

the perfect long list to demonstrate why humans are so flawed - we should have evolved FAR past the need to resolve differences by killing one another....
but
when one person or a segment of one nation refuse to share, refuse to treat others with dignity - war has been the result.
as I age, I become increasingly pacifistic.

May God bless all those dead or living who fought for us!

The words.
The list.
The endless wars and the endless dead.
The needless dying.
The list was as powerful as the poem!
