I think this poem express the triviality of fighting. The simple idea of
putting people in rows can be a motive for a war.

To me this poem means that when people get too wrapped up in the fight,
they lose sight of what they were fighting for in the first place

To me the man represent a leader trying to do good and asking people to get
in a row. There are some people who realize his intentions and simply
follow while there are those who follow him but are extremists contorting
his vision to something evil, while at the same time there are people who
do not agree and have their own mind set thus they kill the people who do
not agree with them. I think this can relate how people separate themselves
and follow religion, morals, and political views.

This poem reminds me of a quote that I heard once. Don't make mountains out
of molehills. That just means that don't make a huge deal (mountain) out of
something that isn't a big deal at all (molehill).

I agree with Chris completely. Such an issue of standing in rows can be
solved without such stupidity and bloodshed, yet those who fight do not see
this, and continue to fight for years without any kind of enlightenment to
found.

To MIKE from Canada: Interesting Observation. I found this site because
of his connection to T. Roosevelt. I didn't realize he was a poet also.

I agree with both of you. this is the first time i read this poem and it is
very true. Sometimes it sadddens me that we cant just realize the things
that aren't big enough to fight over. Just because we dont agree to
something or we dont like it does not mean there needs to be blood shed!
