Answer 1

Answer:

what happen if we are instigated

Answer 2

Answer:

The concerned poem is called No men are Foreign by James Kirkup. He puts a lot of emphasis on humanity in this poem.

Explanation:

• The poet is referring to wars here. He mentions that wars are the reason why the earth is dirty. People kill each other and the bodies pollute the earth.
• Whenever we are told to do something bad to others, or hate someone and take up arms against each other, we should remember that we are on a path to killing, betraying, and condemning ourselves. The one who we hate and kill is just like us - a human with the same features as us, eating the same food, breathing in the same air. They are our brothers.
• The poet insists that we ponder upon a simple truth that war is by no means, useful to humans. It causes huge losses on both sides, thereby rendering it a useless solution.
• The poet warns us that the war fire degrades the innocence in our air which is universal. Everyone breaths in the same air. Innocent people are caught up in it. This fire is so dangerous that it can sow the seeds of hatred in minds worldwide.
