About This Quote

In the poem “What do they expect of us if a time ever comes when the war is over?” by Robert L. Owen, he poses a question to his fellow Americans. The poem opens with the speaker addressing his countrymen and proclaims: “We cannot go back to what we were, we cannot stop fighting, we cannot give up.” He continues to ask the question: “What do they expect of us if a time ever comes when the war is over?” He then goes on to describe that the only way that the war can end is for all of them to die. He says that they will never be able to give up and be satisfied while others fight for their freedom and prosperity while he goes on fighting. He finishes by saying: “Through the years our business has been killing, but we keep on fighting."
