Beetlebung and Kettlehole--April Poems

Hunger Games

                             Since I am so deeply inspired by our politics...

never mind the elderly
the work-weary,
child, adult

swipe at those
buzzing about your head,
root for the savage cult

perform a first-class haunting
with shrouded power at heart
whip through the masses

and crawl around your enemies
in wealth of stealth
like kudzu

dirty fighting is all there is
against saucer-eyed bastards
so you outlive the beasts

this is no vice
take Hunger Games' advice
"Stay Alive!"

Prompt: give some advice
