Episode 102 - Poetry Explication #6: Dulce et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen

Wilfred Owen died at age 25 while fighting on the front lines in France during the last days of WWI.  He died for his country, but not before penning this haunting poem.  In it, he describes the horrors of death by gas attack, all too common in WWI.  He cautions us to not glamorize or view through rose-colored glasses, what is, and always will be, the nightmare that is war.
