I found this poem to be very interesting and creative. The lack of punctuation aided the author in achieving the central purpose. The author wanted to criticize politicians and patriots and express his view of military actions. The punctuation (or lack of) increased the speed of the poem and made it like a stream of thoughts. Readers could not really tell where one sentence ended and where another began. Also, pieces of patriotic themes, like the Star Spangled Banner, were used to add to the point the author was trying to make. Ultimately, the author ends with "He spoke. And drank rapidly a glass of water" (14). I feel like this line enforces the passion of the author and how he disregards politicians and some of their views. He wanted to make a statement and I think like this poem was a clever way to do it.
