Answer:
The theme of this excerpt is the use of voice instead of violence to solve problems.
Step-by-step explanation:
This excerpt from the poem September 1, 1939, written by W. H. Auden encourages people to question what they see, and to consider whether the truth that the State offers is really true truth. He proposes raising the voices as a way of inciting dialogue and not the violence of wars, in order to obtain a fairer world.
