The Hunger Game.. Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

The Hunger Game..



The ruthless entertainment stage,
The actors are real with hunger and rage,
The low voiced spectators are huge,
The hunger game may reverse with revenge.

The poor have always fought with themselves,
The notorious civil wars have delivered the leaders,
Most acknowledged historical leaders are the terrors,
The hunger game has always produced the victors.

Sitting around the table, talking to the deaf,
Grouping as allies, having selfish treacherous desires,
Children of enemies are invisible to the naked eyes,
What is the use of biased psychological theories?

If you want some entertainment out of the hunger game,
Go to the places where people still scavenge to live,
Go to those places where you can hear the cry of the orphans,
Go for a hike wearing all the gears to slaughter the unarmed.
