Lorde Yellow Flicker : Mockingjay Part 1 Hunger games
What is this came true?
Years before the start of the series, the thirteen districts attempted to start a revolution against the Capitol. The Capitol won, District 13 was destroyed and, as punishment, an annual televised death match called The Hunger Games was created by the Capitol. Two participants, one male and one female, known as tributes, between the ages of 12 and 18 are chosen randomly in a “reaping” from each district. Children may volunteer as a tribute instead of selection by ballot. They are taken to an arena and fight until only one is left alive.[8]
Katniss Everdeen is a 16-year-old girl from District 12 who volunteers for the 74th Hunger Games after her 12-year-old sister Primrose Everdeen is picked for reaping. She survives the games along with Peeta Mellark when they both defy the Capitol by threatening to commit suicide.[8]
The Capitol is angry at their defiance, which inspires rebellion in several districts. Katniss and Peeta tour the districts, attempting to subdue the rebellion. Then, the reaping for the next Hunger Games takes place. For these games, part of the “Quarter Quell” that takes place every 25 years, winners of past games are forced to participate. When only a few participants remain in the games, including Katniss and Peeta, the arena is destroyed. Three of the tributes, including Katniss, are rescued by survivors of District 13, but the other three tributes, including Peeta, are captured by Capitol hovercrafts.[9]
The rebellion continues with Katniss being used as a figurehead.[10] more info here

A whole generation hunger for meaning in their lives. They want a real reason to their being. They don’t see it so they drink. They get drunk before they go out then they act badly then they hunger for forgiveness to get away from their shame… they do not get what they want so they drink more!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then there is self inflicted hunger, some starve themselves because they do not want to grow up, because they are or have been abused. So many reasons for anorexia . Song from Maria Mena
A clever song from Marina and the Diamonds. About how the media and fashion world wants to sell the female as a perfect ( just as relevant for males too) It depicts one girl bucking the system!
Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Eleven years ago I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " not quite but with the help of a walking stick and as long as I do not stand or sit in one position for too long, I am still standing! Update I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust, I will of been married 50yrs plus this year . Pain and boredom are my enemies now, I have to find different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and
hopefully in to light ??
I need to update this a little here. I have worked very hard over the years since my accident, I go to the gym regularly, I have a Pilates class and a core class once a week . The guys at the gym and my Pilates teacher cajoled, teased, bullied and encouraged me to abandon my walking stick! :) My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and as strongly as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well.
I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits.

Great videos… You have a marvelous musical taste ⭐
Best wishes, Aquileana 😛
Nicely done Willow, Sia is one of my favorite songwriter/ lyricist. Band-Aid ’84 is still as relevant as ever. U’ve certainly captured hunger in your crosshairs! Have a beautiful weekend. 🙂
Thanks Maddie I don’t know why I always seem to come at the themes from a different angle. My husband always tells me I think in an odd way. Big hugs to you. Xxx
Greetings Willow.
I was betting you would offer something from The Hunger Games and you did. 🙂 Highly appropriate. I avoided seeing that film until I learned what it was about. It’s so relevant to current issues that it’s a great mental horror film. At least I think so.
Oh and as for Mariana and the Diamonds—Girls Don’t Fight Dirty? Since when? That’s a very interesting pick indeed. I like it.
Thanks for adding to my musical menu.
Hi Eva, glad you enjoyed the blog.I am always blown away by Sia she is just so amazing. Also I love Marina too, did you like Maria Men’s too. I think eyesore should be compulsory watching, listening and reading for all teenagers!. I lovrc all the videos on your blog but the last one really scared me really it did . perhaps another compulsory watching for all children. Again thank you. Xxx

Willow, I completely forgot about Band Aid. Nice throwback!
Yes hard to believe that that was 20yrs ago.
