Notes About The Poem

Your Country Needs You

If children ask the question why?
Why do warriors fight and die?
We answer that we are sure
Sure that patriotism beckons us to war

Indeed, the love of one's country is the strongest of all motivations.

This is one of my most difficult thoughts to get my head around. To me it is a lie, a money making scheme in which society is entrapped in a catch 22 situation. Your poem has summed it up most succinctly.
