Hunger Games Poem by RIC BASTASA

When i first watch it
i could but cry because of
the violence

despite the pomp of the props
the fire and the sharpness of
the colors

was the director merely hungry
for the blood and the honor?

nope. He shows what we are.
How easily can we forget our
violent history

how Cain and Abel were
how brother kills brother

i had years reflecting and i guess
we deserve more deaths of our own kind

to be human again. To be careful
that soon we all perish

and lose our very own inheritance.
Earth, Peace, Love.
