September 1, 1939 by W.H. Auden




September 1, was a poem which was written by W.H.Auden during a complicated period of time, of the last century human history. Through this poem he tried to represent what was happening before Second World War was starting. He describes his feelings, thoughts and fears about war.



From my personal point of view, this poem is very realistic because it expresses how human beings can be when they want to get power over society. Evilness is a crucial word when we want to refer to what human beings are capable to do when they want to be superior and destroy others.



According to what I believe and what the author expressed at the end of this poem, the only way we can change what is happening for instance in middle east is that people expresses awareness for their world as well as expressing love to one another. Moreover, it is important that people also need to be empathetic with the ones who are suffering.


Through this poem I could imagine what was happening at that period of time, I could feel what people felt. Besides, I believe that even though Auden`s poem is very strong in some aspects, he published anyway, and that is something very important for me. We cannot hide what we think or feel, we are human beings and we are free to express our thoughts.


To sum up, I can say that the poem is very easy to follow and also captures readers attention, because it is a true story.
