After Blenheim is an anti war poem where the poet beautifully uses two small children to question the need for war. They doubt its necessity and its greatness when they hear the large scale killings, burning of houses , bodies rotting under the sun. However the ignorant common man like Kasper fails to realize the pointlessness of war as they are taught to accept the sacrifices of life for the sake of a "great victory".
