Speech on no men are foreign
Answers
Answer:
Remember, no men are strange, no countries foreign
Beneath all uniforms, a single body breathes
Like ours :the land ours brothers walk upon
Is earth like this, in which we all shall lie.
They, too aware of sun and air and water,
Are fed by peaceful harvests, by war's long winter starv'd.
Their hands are ours, and in their lines we read
A Labour not different from our own.
Remember they have eyes like ours that wake
Or sleep, and strength that can be won
By love. In every land is common life
That all can recognize and understand.
Let remember, whenever we are told
To hate ours brother, it is ourselves
That we shall dispossess, betray, condemn.
Remember, we who take arms against each other
It is the human earth that we defile.
Ours hells of fire and dust outrage the innocence
Of air that is everywhere our own,
Remember, no men are foreign, and no countries strange.
Answer:
In his poem James Kirkup tells us why no men are foreign.
People wear different clothes but underneath they have the same body of flesh, blood, and bones. They live in different countries, speak different languages, believe in different religions, yet they belong to the same planet.
All people breathe, sleep, wake up, eat, and work. Sooner or later they die and are buried. The sun, air, and water are equally essential for everyone. There is no difference between human beings.
We prosper, our harvest is bountiful and there will be no starvation when there is peace in the land. Wars bring destruction and everyone suffers in the same manner.
So, the poet through his poem tells us that there is no difference between people and to live in unity and avoid discrimination.
