Hey!
Im not an expert and ive never done English literature before but I thought id list a few well known/ rebounded ones on the topic just in case as this thread was left unanswered for some time:

Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley
London by William Blake
The Charge of the Light Brigade by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Exposure by Wilfred Owen
Bayonet Charge by Ted Hughes
Remains by Simon Armitage
Poppies by Jane Weir
War Photographer by Carol Ann Duffy

I hope some of these are helpful! Goodluck!

Hi There, A level literature student here who did power and conflict at GCSE. I recommend learning at least 1 poem for each main theme

Ozymandias
Exposure
Bayonet Charge
Checking out me history
Poppies
London
Hope thats helpful - though do try learn them all if possible as you dont know what will be the named poem and you dont wana be in the dark about it.
