    The poem “After Bleinheim” is relevant to the contemporary world as it presents the sufferings of the people who had to face the world, directly or indirectly. Robert Southey’s poem is an antiwar poem and is a critique to the people who glorify war and the war heroes, all the while being oblivious to the real reason for the war. In the present times, this poem recounts the sufferings of the people during the war and those who continue to suffer after the war. The moral of the poem lies in the fact that war can never be the solution for peace. War is not to be glorified as the common people are not actively linked to it.
