Read the poem carefully and answer the questions that follow :
No Men are Foreign Remember, no men are strange, no countries foreign
Beneath all uniforms, a single body breathes Like ours: the land our brothers walk upon Is earth like this, in which we all shall lie. They, too, aware of sun and air and water, Are fed by peaceful harvests, by war’s long winter starv’d.
Their hands are ours, and in their lines we read A labour not different from our own. Remember, they have eyes like ours that wake Or sleep, and strength that can be won By love. In every land is common life That all can recognise and understand.
Let us remember, whenever we are told To hate our brothers, it is ourselves That we shall dispossess, betray, condemn.
Remember, we who take arms against each other It is the human earth that we defile. Our hells of fire and dust outrage the innocence Of air that is everywhere our own, Remember, no men are foreign, and no countries strange.
–James Kirkup
