Found poem by Jackie Mednick

The unthinkable
Thinking in my mind
What just happened
What seemed like years were just minutes
Then it all came to me

I felt myself trying to load the truth
But I found myself grabbing the opposite
The decision was mine to make
Should I live in a lie
Or move on in the truth
I found myself trying to abandon the thought of everything
To start over
But how could I
After everything that happened
Well, after everything that I thought had happened
Questions by the thousands
paving in my head
What is real, and what is not
The thought will be wandering in my mind for the rest of my life
Thinking
Tomorrow is another day, or is it
What is a day
What is anything
too many questions
Too many questions for me in a lifetime to figure out
But for now
Just let me think

In Night it is obvious that Elie is losing his faith. It had become apparent in the first few chapters of this book that Elie was questioning his faith, but now he has almost completely lost it. "But look at these men whom You have betrayed, allowing them to be tortured, slaughtered, gassed, and burned, what do they do? They pray before You! They praise Your name!" (Wiesel 68). "As I swallowed my ration of soup, I turned that act into a symbol of rebellion, of protest against Him" (Wiesel 69). Elie was once a strong believer in his God, but now he is having a battle with himself that is challenging everything that he was raised to believe. Then again, you can't blame him. Think about everything him and all the other Jews have gone through. If I was in his situation I would definitely feel the same.

Found: Guide my venturing in this world, A world full of secrets, A world unknown Where hope is lost, And darkness is found Secrets and sadness Sigh of a child Eyes full yet empty Empty of light A smile in the distance A flickering light From it came life and strength In the light was a smile From the smile found a prayer And there the prayer found me
