Reading Journal Week 11 - Heart of a Poet - 2015

I am doing a Heart of a Poet Reading Journal.

The Bar Code Rebellion

By Suzanne Weyn

I am doing a poem about Kayla and Mfumbe. Since Mfumbe always tells Kayla poems when she feels down. I have decided to write a poem about Kayla telling Mfumbe a poem she made. She will be telling this while Mfumbe is basically on his death bed and is forced to have the Bar Code Tattoo.  

As I watch you struggle for your life 

As I watch you struggle for your life,

with your eyelids closed.

They try to mess up your life with this demon inside you,

but I know you are strong enough to survive.

As I watch you struggle.

I read poems for you,

to try to distract the pain.

I will kill them for what they did to you,

but I know you wouldn't want me to.

As I watch you struggle.

I think of all the memories we had while we were hiding.

I want to tell you I love you with all my heart,

but I don't think you would hear me through all the pain you are going through.

So I tell you through may mind,

but you don't seem to understand.

Maybe that connection we used to have is long gone.

As I watch you struggle.

It makes me want to take away all the pain you are feeling.

This Bar Code they forced you to get,

has messed up my connection with you.

I wish I could fly like a bird that is free.

Freedom is what we lack in this world,

know no has their freedom anymore.

As I watch you struggle,

hopefully for the last time.

I plant one last kiss before it is to late.

I will go to find an answer to put you out of your pain.

But for now I will have to go,

 hopefully you will last that long.

As I watch you struggle for you life.
