Read this excerpt from Kinnell's poem "Vapor Trail Reflected in the Frog

Pond":

And I hear,

coming over the hills, America singing,

her varied carols I hear:

crack of deputies' rifles practicing their aim on stray dogs

at night,

sput of cattleprod,

TV going on about the smells of the human body,

curses of the soldier as he poisons, burns, grinds, and

stabs

the rice of the world,

with open mouth, crying strong, hysterical curses.

What is this part of the poem about?

    My personal opinion is that this part pf the poem is about war. It mentions soldiers, and deputies and also mentions "America singing" Sometimes when soldiers went to war they would sing the national anthem and other american tunes while marching to battle.
