”War is kind” is poem written by Stephen Crane and is about war and its aftermath. Stephen Crane perfectly summarizes war and those affected directly and indirectly in five stanza’s, the message of the poem is directed more towards the loved ones of the soldiers who died on the battlefield.

The second and fourth stanzas characterize a change in the…
