This spoken poem hit me really hard. It made me realise that The Hunger Games is more than just a fictional story. In fact, the psychological pain that every victor goes through after The Hunger Games is as real as the trauma every soldier will face after coming back from a war.
"How many wars will it take us to learn that only the dead return the rest remain forever caught between worlds of shrapnel shatters body of three year old girl?"The soldiers that return from a war will never be the same person again. Their hearts crippled with shock and hands drenched with blood. How can we fight for freedom and happiness when the people who fought for us sleep every night with their eyes open to the replayed scenes of bombings and gore?
"Not all casualties come home in body bags"Just like how Haymitch has never been fully sober after the Hunger Games, no soldier has fully returned from a war.
