I can explain how structure and imagery can be used to take a stand.
Muuji qoraalka
A poem can be turned into song and used to take a stand.
‘Where Have All The Flowers Gone’ is a famous anti-war song.
The song uses a cyclical structure to show the inevitability of war.
The imagery of flowers in the poem reflects the beauty and innocence that is destroyed by war.
Repetition of “where” and “learn” reinforces the sense of loss and history’s inability to teach us about violence.
