Tone
The prevalent tone of this poem is one of irony. The poet is not seriously advising anyone on the methods of killing. He is simply telling us that the world has been turned into a horrible place through man’s own actions, and now man has to pay the price himself.

Conclusion
“Five Ways to Kill a Man” is a unique poem. Not too many poems have been written on the subject of ruthless murder. It also manages to evoke a sense of guilt in readers. They feel sad to be a part of the human race, knowing that their fellow men have committed such heinous crimes. The poet’s hidden message is that man must change his ways, and this message is definitely not lost to readers.
