Behind

• Artist: whitejade13
• Description: Yet another Holocaust poem. I wrote this one too for the contest. It won second place. Personally I think I should have won Ist but it didn't because the judge of it never read poetry much. It lost to a very short poem about Holocaust colors and it rymned. oh well. I'm quite over it. I hope you like the poem.

Mother! Don't leave me!
I'm frightened. I don't know
what to do.
Why don't you
look my way?
You say they're the enemy
but you allow them to
take you from me.
Why are they doing this
to us?
Have they no conscience?
Do they feel no quilt??
I'm confused Mother.
Please, help me understand.
You said if they caught us
we'd be trapped,
caged animals.
Why now does it seem like
you don't care?
I don't understand.
Why are you leaving me here
all alone?
Please, take me with you!
Come back for me!
I wish I could go to you but
you said to stay here and
I musn't disobey, Mother
Because you said I'd be
punished.
Don't you want me?
To be with me like before?
I yell for you but
you don't hear me.
Thay put you in a box
and shut the door.
I cry out for you
one last time.
Mother!

Deep. I thought you should've won first to! D<
IM PISSED OFF. I know how you feel I usually
get second to none in contests and s**t by people
who are judges that know nothing of what they are
judging on. PISSES ME OFF! D<
this is a good poem, it's not lacking much
but maybe a little more words to clear the
emotion so that it is not so vague. Like a
little more added to the parts were this child is upset.
I really like this, honestly. biggrin !!!
