Found poem - Kenzie

Never

I will never forget
The first night May 1944
That ruined my life forever
The first time I entered
A concentration camp  
The first time I witnessed the flames
The first time I witnessed death  
Someone being hung
Children and adults
Scared faces
Everyday I thought to myself
Will I ever get out of here
Why would my god
My eternal master
Let something this horrible
Happen to us Jews

    I really like you poem. I think the strongest verse in your poem is where you wrote about God and how that person was mad that God because God was allowing all this to happen to them.

    I like how you begin to describe the journey that was taken at the very beginning of your poem. You say the first time of things and what began to ruin lives and hope. It also shows how those things are stuck in their minds now and they will never forget.

"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
