ISU Blog Post #2 - Slam Poetry

For the second blogpost of the ISU, i decided to write my own Slam Poetry of my novel instead of finding some poetry online. Below is a poem that I made which is about the social issue of isolation. It describes a scene that Anne Frank faces when she is in hiding a house.

Hidden in a room, I watch as my own are being taken away
Helpless and useless, I have nothing to say
There is only 1 of them and 10 of us
We could have gotten together and made a fuss
We have the numbers, but they have the guns
We scream, we shout, but still the Nazi's don't know what about
They say, "The Jews are the devils, we must eliminate."
What did we do, why do we have to compensate
Here i am, Hidden, Isolated from the world
I watch my own being taken away while i am in a corner, all curled
