APO 96225- Central Purpose

The central purpose of this poem is to basically to warn against the truth. Once you learn the truth, you can never go back, to ignorance. Most hate being lied to, and want to find out every detail that is being withheld from them, and why. But, less often do we consider why it is that we don't know the whole truth, or why someone would want to lie. This poem is saying that the truth can be hurtful, so be careful what you ask for. This could also relate to science. Is it necessary to advance further? Is anyone thinking about how this uninvented technology of the future will change our world, possibly for the worse? This comes up in the poem because, the son is in war fighting ethic battles daily, weather to use the weapons invented to take lives.
