Its to attempt to make sense of the atrocities he had experienced
A Possible Explanation: I believe the metaphor at the end, "being men as well as leaves, to die for the sun", is referring back to the personification/simile seen here: "midsummer's leaves race to extinction like the roar
of a Brixton riot tunneled by water hoses".
In tandem, the word lemmings has two meanings, as read in the dictionary: "a small, short-tailed, thickset rodent related to the voles, found in the Arctic tundra."
and
"a person who unthinkingly joins a mass movement, especially a headlong rush to destruction."
I believe "autumn's fire" and "the sun" are both symbolic of war, an idea of it, and/or passion for it. I read that this poem is criticizing the human aspect that is war and how short-lived and ignorant it all ends up coming out to be.
I hope this helps ♡

Explanation:
To increase pride in myself I make sure everyone knows that I am adopted. Me being adopted means I
was chosen. I was chosen to be loved, and looked after. I am very prideful about my adoption. Some
people make fun of me when I tell them, but their laughter doesn't really hurt me. I am not ashamed to
be adopted and I never will be.
