Poem Analysis

Does It Matter? 

Does it matter?-losing your legs?
For people will always be kind,
And you need not show that you mind
When others come in after hunting
To gobble their muffins and eggs.
Does it matter?-losing you sight?
There’s such splendid work for the blind;
And people will always be kind,
As you sit on the terrace remembering
And turning your face to the light.
Do they matter-those dreams in the pit?
You can drink and forget and be glad,
And people won't say that you’re mad;
For they know that you've fought for your country,
And no one will worry a bit. 

By : Siegfried Sassoon

Analysis : It is an angry ,heavily ironic war poem and written by the famous World War I poet Siegfried Sassoon . On the first line ,it appears that the poet is addressing an injured soldier who has returned from the trenches, asking this man whether or not it is important that he is missing limbs and sights. The writer uses Euphimism in the first line "losing" .Clearly , if a soldier were to lost a limb in World War I trenches ,it would be a bloody affair. For the writer to use the word "losing" ,it becomes instantly clear he is being ironic. By taking the words "For they know that you've fought for your country,"  the writer aims that the soldiers don't have to be worry , because all they did is to fight and save their country. And the purpose or the writer is to show and to remind people to remember their struggles.

Forever Friend

You are my worst friend
You are my best friend
You are my naughty friend
You are my innocent friend

You are my song friend
You are my wrong friend
You are my right friend
You are my bright friend

I love to see you
I wish to see you soon
For me you are no less than a boon

You are my beautiful friend
You are my dutiful friend
You are my just friend
You are my first friend

Nobody is better than you
To love you is what I always do
you are a friend
Whose friendship has no end.

You are my friend-
forever best friend..........
