•Although the poem is against patriotism, it achieves its message ironically. On the surface the actual statements and fragments of language are from patriotic address, the sort of cliché laden speeches that are given by politicians and at Fourth of July Addresses.
Go through the poem and identify irony. (Where you think it is clear the message the poet is giving is not the initial patriotic poem that we may have expected.)
