About This Quote

No one asks poor people if they want war. This quote is referring to the fact that poor people don't have a voice in the world and so no one really cares about their opinions and wants to hear them. You see, when we talk about war we only meet the rich people who have the power to make decisions and they all come from different backgrounds. When we talk about someone being poor, they are usually ignored because they don't have the money to buy weapons, so they are not able to do anything about it.
