central idea of poem War - by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Answers
Answer:
The poem An 'Inspiration by Ella Wheeler Wilcox' is a 'very thought provoking poem' that discusses the 'futility of war' and 'the weakness of the strong'.
This addresses all the poorer sections of society, the 'war-driven and the oppressed', and ensures that the fight is not lost. So powerful the rulers may be, but no winner is ultimately triumphant, so mighty the winners may appear. All have failed in the war of righteousness.
It is a 'strong' yet gentle reminder to 'fight on in life’s war' and not to 'submit to the power of the tyrants', 'not to lose hope', 'not to be crushed down' but to 'strive on as no war is ever won' unless it is 'fought for the right reason' or justice. In the fight for freedom all lost. All is lost. It's a powerful but gentle reminder to keep fighting in the wars of life and not to give up the power of tyrants, not to lose hope, but to sacrifice because no war is ever won but for the right purpose and for the right justice.
