Much More than Dangerous

(Tribute to the Hunger Games)

By E.E Lu

Firm on the ground but

My heart skips a jump

This is something I always new

But never imagined to be true

I hear the bell’s torturous ring

To alert the darkness that bring

And by that perfect timing

We all are released into the ring

And twenty-three families who watch until the end,

Will cry and feel sick, look towards a friend.

And the children returned,

Their eyes deepened and dead

for their entertainment

for families in dread

as their tears roll from their hollow eyes

Remember the message the capitol said

as the innocent souls step into that gate

they swallow their breaths

and think of their fate

they can only stand there

and wait
