Explanation:
"No men are foreign" is a subtle poem by James Kirkup published in 1966. It talks of impact of War on people's life. Through this poem poet brings reader's attention to the fact that we humans are all same, in spite of the differences in our race, language or geography. He emphasizes that all people are equal and uniform , because all breathe air and drink the same water. The sun and land belong to everyone. Thus, if we are prejudiced and wage war against each other in the name of countries, we will surely bring doom upon ourselves. The title too reverberates in first and last line of the poem, again stressing on the poet’s belief of “all men are the same.”
