Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

A really easy poem to start with would be W!.B Yeats' "Easter 1916!." This is about an uprising of Irish nationalists that went terribly wrong!. He both criticizes and admires the revolutionaries for their singlemindedness of purpose, for the way they wasted their young lives!. He also criticizes those that are not revolutionaries - the people that simply utter polite meaningless words and pretend that injustices never happened!.

Here are some links for historical context and explications of Yeats' techniques:
