Does feeling ironic that a lot of tragedy happens more on this blog. Regardless, I still have SOOOOOOO much more homework to do. Now let's see......

Rainbow Death

America did not foreseeGreen, 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!Hubert Wilson

Okay so if we have to know about the whole poem, we will have to know the author first. It's Hubert Wilson, but who is he? He is a Vietnam War veteran who served in the USAF security service. Together with a dozen or so intelligence school graduates, they prepped for about 14 months at Kelly AFB in San Antonio, Texas. They were sent to Vietnam or other places in Southeast Asia in 1970. He was assigned to Shemya Island, Alaska along with the 6984th Security Squadron, which was a severely contaminated environment. After staying there for about 18 years, he started to have unexplained headaches and limb pains. No doctors have been able to diagnose the illness. Since his brain is still functioning moderately well although he has mobility issues, he has decided to turn to writing.

Let's now turn to analysing the whole poem, and since we already have the background of the author, we should be able to know that this is a war poem
