"Conscientious Objector" is a poem written by Edan St. Vincent Millay. This poem is about a man holding on to his obligation and explaining how he is a conscientious objector. He feels so strongly that he says, "I will not give him a leg up. Though he flick my shoulders with his whip, I will not tell him which way the fox ran." This means that he will not give them any warnings or heads up, also that he will not take part in giving any direction to or from the victims. Also he writes "I will not tell him the whereabouts of my friends nor of my enemies either." This suggest that he will keep his mouth close at all times and that he will not say a word or clues to neither sides.
