The Hunger Games Review

From the ages of twelve to eighteen,
Futures awaiting us,
Yet twenty-three will die,
Our family, friends, lovers,
All will lose someone special,
And for what?
Authority?
We don't care about the Capitol's horrible Games,
We just want to survive,
And get home,
We don't want to kill,
We don't want to die,
What must we do?
Do we actually want to be accused of legal murder?
Do we want to look into the eyes of all those whose loved ones we killed?
What about all those we miss?
How will their lives be after this?
To the Capitol, it's just a sporting on TV,
But to us, it's something more,
Something horrible,
Terrible,
It's killing all of our family,
It's killing everyone we love,
It's killing our friends,
And can we do something about it?
Maybe.
Can we stop the Games?
Maybe.
But right now, we need to make a decision,
Do we kill or die?
