Detailed explanation-1: -The theme of the poem “No Men are Foreign” is the oneness of mankind underneath the superficial differences of colour, race, nationality and faith. It presupposes that all human beings are brothers and sisters. Those who spread hatred and wage wars are criminals and deserve to be condemned.
Detailed explanation-2: -When we arm ourselves against each other, we defile the purity of our own earth through bloodshed. The bombs and other weapons of war ravage and pollute the earth. Due to the constant firing, there is destruction and piling up of dust and debris. The air that we breathe also becomes polluted as a result.
Detailed explanation-3: -The poet asks us to remember that by hating our brothers, we are dispossessing, betraying and condemning ourselves. When we take arms against each other, we pollute the human earth and violate the purity of the atmosphere.
Detailed explanation-4: -"Remember, no men are foreign, and no countries strange.”-this line is repeated throughout the poem. The poet uses this repetition to put emphasis on the theme of world fraternity and also because he wants us to remember that no men are foreign and no countries strange.
Detailed explanation-5: -Answer: In the poem, to take arms means to fight one another especially after being deceived by selfish people.
