Stephen Cane War Is Kind
“War is Kind” by Stephen Cane is a poem from the late 1800’s. This poem is assumed to be written about the civil war because World War 1 and World War 2 have not occured yet. This poem is very moving and full of sorrow. “War is Kind” was inspired by Crane’s experience in the front lines in Greece(1897) and cuba(1898). Although the poem is called “War is Kind”, war is definitely far from kind.
“War is kind” talks not about how war is “kind” but about how it is the worst thing to ever have to go through. It also talks about how all war does is cause destruction. Maidiens lose their lovers, babies their fathers, and mothers their sons. Crane believes it is this way because military leaders see their soldiers as dehumanized weapons born only
