ReplyDeletewhile the young people's blood flows out of their bodies". I think this is the most powerful line because it shows how cruel war is. I agree with Bob Dylan that war is a very serious thing and leaders send out commands to watch innocent people die. Countries want to gain more power and wealth, and will do it at the cost of others lives, even if they have done nothing wrong. This line shows a very powerful perspective that should be considered.
