If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,

To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est
Pro patria mori.
(((The poet rebukes readers for their mistaken belief that war is glorious)))
