The poem was narrating about the situation of the children, and it did not focus on the description of the children's personal feelings, which proves that it is a 3rd person's point of view.
Situation & Setting- It is narrating on the children that lives a completely different live, and born in a world of war with no light. It shows how blinded they have been turned into by the external circumstances and why it deserves our sympathy. The phrase "war consume them" further evokes the reader's feelings on how the children have been used as a machine for war, which then leads to the war being the entire point of their lives.
Language/Diction- Metaphors were used. One example would be the title, in which darkness do not necessarily meant a place with no bright light to light up the place. It has a deeper meaning in which refers to being blinded by war.
Personal Response- One will definitely empathise after seeing how children from somewhere on the other side of the world are living their lives. It will lead us into thinking how we do not treasure our lives and dampen it when others are clearly suffering much more than us.
