"Futility" means uselesness. To Owen, war is a meaningless massacre of young soldiers. War brings only destruction & agony. This poem deals with the death of a young english soldier in war. The poet painfully asserts that the sun,the creator of all living beings,can't restore life to the young soldier who has had an untimely death. so the creation of life on earth also seems to be futile. war that makes life futile,by destroying it playfully,is also futile affair. hence the title of the poem is FUTILITY
