America did not foresee
Green, pink, purple and other colors death potpourri!
Expecting others to pay a high price.
Now thinking twice?
Toll on the innocent and unborn.
Omnipotent and disregarding who will mourn.
Reflective about all the illness, birth defects and prematurely dead.
All the deceit continues to spread.
Nefariously America led astray -
Generations untold WILL pay -
Execrable effects of agent orange spray!
Point of view:
From my points of view, this poem is about the war between vietnam and america. The personna is most probably a victim of a gas attack when the poem mention "Execrable effects of agent orange spray!" The poem also mention that the war brought out the worse of America."Nefariously America led astray -" this happens in a war as during a war, men losses who they are and fight for their country and lives. It is to kill or to be killed.
THE SITUATION & THE SETTING
The situation was very chaotic, with the use of chemicals, "Green, pink, purple and other colors death potpourri!" suggests that many different types of gases are being used in the war. the phrase"Expecting others to pay a high price.Now thinking twice?Toll on the innocent and unborn." also adds on to my point as the situation was so chaotic that soldiers do not even know their enemies and alleys, and just fire and attack randomly at anyone they see. The setting is at the vietnam war as "Execrable effects of agent orange spray!" mentioned about agent orange.Theme
The theme of the poem should be chaos, as the war brought out the worse of humans, making them inhuman. Therefore, they resulted into killing madly, creating chaos throughout the entire war.
Structure
While reading the poem, i found out that the last words of every two lines rythmes!"America did not foresee
Green, pink, purple and other colors death potpourri!" and "price and twice" this makes the poem catchy and adds on to the cchaotic atmosphere of the poem.
Personal response
in conclusion, war either brings out the best in humans, or the worse. which in this case, the worse. Thus, rainbow death suggests that death is beautiful in a war and in order to be a happy warrior, we will have to die. As death is never accompanied with a rainbow, this title suggests the chaos in the war.
