Question

On Wiesel's Night

I cannot teach this book. Instead,
I drop copies on their desks,
like bombs on sleeping towns,
and let them read. So do I, again.
The stench rises from the page
and chokes my throat.
The ghosts of burning babies
haunt my eyes.
And that bouncing baton
that pointer of Death,
stabs me in the heart
as it sends his mother
to the
blackening sky
Nothing is
the laws
of
science say,
only changed
The millions transformed into
precious smoke ride the wind
to fill our lungs and hearts
with their cries.
No, I cannot teach this book.
I simply want the words
to burn their comfortable souls
and leave them scarred for life.

Answer 1

I read the poem through and one thing i found interesting is how the author wants the reader to deeply connect with his writing and we see him expressing this when he says"I simply want the words to burn their comftarable souls". We also see him comparring the book to horrid things which is really interesting.
