3rd set of stanzas

Katniss is chosen to be the mockingjay
Her list of demands on display
The captured tributes are to be immune
And she gets to skin Snow like a baboon

A trip is taken to floor thirty-nine
Where it smells heavily of brine
Off to room eight
Cinna’s old crew shackled abate

Self Defense is next on the list
Where Beetee works as a mad scientist
A special bow made just for Katniss
Brings her a feeling of bliss

The propo is shot with little ease
It gave Haymitch particular displease
Command wants to put her in action
To see if she can cause a positive reaction

In District 8 the bombs are let loose
The number of dead bodies is profuse
A defenseless hospital destroyed
Katniss’ words fill a dying void


The Capitol strikes back with a propo of their own
Peeta thinks she’s acting like the rebels drone
The districts urge to rebel burns more than an ember
All of Panem becomes familiar with “We Remember”

Katniss sings “The hanging tree”
She realizes she may never be free
Beetee finally breaks through
People of the Capitol are shocked at what they view

Peeta speaks of death to thirteen
Nothing can be heard over the sirens breath
The bombings create a scare
But they can’t break the lair

Another delivery of roses
Katniss decomposes
She knows why Peeta is being used
She can only cry bruised and confused

The tributes are rescued from Snow
Finnick tells his dark secrets that bring woe
The rescued are happy to be back
Except Peeta who is intent on attack
