This poem is not a normal poem, its history is dark. It was created to motivate and inspirate people to do great things, well that was the case untill, .. untill Timothy Mcveigh use this poem as his last words apon ejecution in 2001. Timothy Mcveigh was a former marine and master mind of the Oklahoma City Bombing in 1995 ( the biggest terrorist attack on american soil before 9/11).
If this poem offended you or someone you know, my apologies. Please don't judge this poem by its history, but for what it was created for, pure inspiration .
