"next course of God America i"

"Next course of God America i" by e.e. Cummings is a very confusing poem.  It seemed that it may just be self-explanatory, and someone is just talking about America.  However, of course like every other poem, there is more meaning behind it.  First, I feel that the speaker was a soldier for the U.S. army because of the way he talked about America.  I could tell that he had a very personal connection; not just one of being a citizen.  There was a line in the poem that said, "heroic happy dead..."  These were the soldiers who fought in the army to save our country.  "They did not stop to think they died..."  This meant that the soldiers kept all the citizens in mind, and they fought to protect our freedom.  I am very grateful for all the soldiers who fought for our country!
