"War is Kind" by Stephen Crane is a powerful set of poems from the end of the 1800s that dives into the sad truths of war. It slams the idea of war being something great, but tells stories about loss, pain, and what battle really looks like. The poems show soldiers, sad families, and thoughtfulness about life and death using strong images to show the horrible side of war. It shows how war ruins families and leaves deep scars, making war seem anything but kind, and encourages us to really think about the awful price we pay for it, stripping away any fake glory to show the sadness underneath.
