As the poem can be interpreted in many ways, its message therefore has a flexibility that allows its readers to shape its meaning to suit them. Thus, allowing its messages to be applicable to anyone, regardless of their demographic. For example, the poem can also be interpreted by Christians as man's waning interest in Christian ideologies and the supposed products of this decadence. A view shared by many older Christians and an important view for younger Christians to learn in order to cement their beliefs. Although the message conveyed by Yeats can be applied to all contemporary youth, it is that depravity and tensions give rise to conflicts. And as we look to the future, we feel our anxiety rising about the inevitable – about the international conflict embedded in the future of the humanities. Why will this conflict occur? For if relations between the “superpowers” ​​are deteriorating today, how could they cope with overpopulation, resource depletion and other problems that a nation must overcome? How can we be sure that these superpowers will not value land and resources such as oil above their populations in order to maintain their economic and political power? We don't do it. This is why a third world war is indeed likely and why the central message of this poem is still relevant today for everyone.
