Free-verse. Again. Wow, I should really put out a few more rhyming poems... unless you like FV (free-verse), then... I stick with FV. Review about this poem, and, while you're at it, say if you would prefer more R or FV poems. Anyone's POV, it really doesn't matter for this one - light bulb! - , if you have an idea of who you think this poem fits best, put it in your reviews - I'll make it the POV of whoever people say it should be the most... You may choose from:
Katniss, Peeta, Gale, Finnick, Haymitch, President Snow, President Coin, Johanna... or if I haven't mentioned who you think it fits best, name them.
I weep, for
I understand
That all I did
Was cruel,
Not amounting
To any real good,
Not coming
To any high degree,
Not reaching
The boiling point,
Nothing really
Useful
In this life.
I know that
Everything I gave
To the wars,
Everyone I killed
In the wars,
Everyday I killed
During the wars,
Everytime I killed
Throughout the wars
Somebody died,
And that somebody
Had a life,
A family,
A dream,
Something to
Account for,
Something to
Amount to
Good.
I killed and
Tortured and
Now I weep
For all the evil
I created.
I wish to rid
This beautiful earth
That we destroyed
Of the evil
That always lingers.
I wish to forget
All the evil,
That I used to
Destroy the good,
But others tell me
That it was all for
The greater good,
But shouldn't
We try
To get some of the
Lesser good,
Some of the
Little good that's left
Before the "greater good"
Comes; Before it comes, when
Evil still has control,
Find the small good,
And make it great?
Is it truly better
To have one man
Die
Than a whole nation
To whither up
And be destroyed
And overrun?
Or is it better to
Save
That one man,
That one life,
That one dream,
That one good in the world,
And let the nation,
The evil,
The enemy,
The killer,
Take care of itself?
And which side
Do I belong on?
Truly?
Now all you have to do is review! Yay! But before you do, something to think about: I need inspiration. So, if you have a funny, inspirational, or amazing quote or experience that you want to share (either from the Hunger Games characters or yourself - either, or if you don't want to share an experience of yours, find a quote - anything works, really... just give me something!), I would really like that. If you can find a quote, I need it. A quote from a famous person, from the author, something you said, or even something one of the HG characters said... any of those would really help. Thanks! Keep reading! Keep reviewing! Or, as in the case of some, START reviewing!
I just hit over 600 hits (happy dance)! But only 23 reviews. Hmm... That tells me that most of you don't bother to review... So do it! Now! :) It is my equivalent to thin mint girl scout cookies, so do it.
