we love our retaliation
when things do not go our way
there is something twisted
about the sanction of human bloodbaths
for the sake of entertainment
how demoralizing it must be
for a crowd of privileged spectators
to cheer as your comrades-turned-enemies
are hacking each other down to the death
children given up like sacrificial lambs
required by the law of grown adults
the young and weak the first to go
but not without a painful death
how did we devolve?
this is the way of certain fantastical literature
and while these happenings are only dancing in stories
it won't be long before they brush our reality
and turn our way of life into a dystopian society.
