War is Kind
I found the whole poem to be very powerful. I had trouble picking just one line. The line I chose though is, "In a field where a thousand corpses lie." The line conjures up mental images of a battlefield after a conflict. The battlefield strewn with bodies of dead and dying soldiers. This image in conjunction with the line "War is kind," outlines the sarcasm in the title line. It makes the poem so much more powerful.
