This poem is dedicated to my geeky friend, -T
The Hunger Games
The Hunger games are very well known,
Throughout the district to which it is shown.
It is a cruel punishment that decides one's fate,
created by the capitol built mostly from hate.
Dangers seek the girl, who bears the golden pin,
Who must play this dreadful game, to protect her own kin.
But if you win The Hunger Games,
You will recieve more than simplistic fame.
With riches and glory, you'll gain many things,
But you'll remember the death and pain which you bring.
With memories haunting you of past battles and strife,
Trust you may lose not just only your life.
So be aware and stay true for there are many surprises
For the fighting and excitment that most likely arises.
In the end you may end up fighting your own neighbor,
...So may the odds be ever in your favor!
