Out of all of Wilfred Owen’s infamous works‚ I have chosen the poem “Disabled”‚ which reflects the result of the decision of a youthful athlete to become a soldier in the war‚ as well as the pains and struggles‚ both physically and mentally‚ that he has to bear.

He is insensitive to the sounds of youth
