"why talk of beauty what could be more beaut-
iful than these heroic happy dead"
(next of course god america i)
A dumb girl that's giving a presentation in level one history while chewing gum. That is what I think the poem is about. IN THE BEGINNING!! It is assumed by the diction and lack of proper punctuation that the speaker neither cares nor understands the importance of America and God. However, in the last three lines, one gets a sense of emotion that is deep and insightful. I think that the first lines are sarcasm, while the last lines are the author's true beliefs on the heros of war.
