What is the theme of "The Fury of Aerial Bombardment"?

Eberhart’s poem uses the occasion of war to consider
questions about God and humanity. This poems expresses strong antiwar sentiments. Though
Eberhart does not develop any characters. he raises the same questions of many poets who
invoke a feeling of sadness over war and expresses a sense of helplessness that man can
not do anything about it without some divine intervention., Though Eberhart attributes
war more to God than to humankind, that it is some kind of divine curse that must be
accomplished, suffered through and trod through. It is one of the more furious of the
anti-war poems at the exclusionary of which God possesses the provocations for
war.
