Sunrise on the Reaping (The Hunger Games, #0.5)

by Suzanne Collins

“A truth that’s told with bad intent Beats all the lies you can invent.” — William Blake

They hang the man and flog the woman Who steals the goose from off the common, Yet let the greater villain loose That steals the common from the goose.

The law locks up the man or woman Who steals the goose from off the common. And geese will still a common lack Till they go and steal it back.
