This poem is rather difficult to read and process. It is very jumbled and has many run-on sentances. I think that this has to do with the fact hes trying to get through it because he isn't fond of the subject of patriotism. He seems to have strong feelings against war. He writes like a child rushing to get through his report on something the child hates. I think he did this purposley to show his hate on the subject. I have never had a harder time reading this.
This also shines through after line ten where he talks of the happy dead. This seems almost sarcastic. The last four lines are very powerful. He tells of the soldiers who died without thought and basically says the voice of liberty will stop with these fighters.
