Now that the serpent has a new lurking ground which is perfect for stalking and hunting all sorts of Fantastic Beasts, this journal was supposed to be a Beast Free zone. But that was before finding myself at Platform 6 2/3 where a very strange train turned up.





The poor passengers from the Districts don't know it yet but they are heading straight to the Capitol where President Snowflake will look after them with lots of bread and circuses before the main event begins about four weeks from now.

It's going to be one hell of a train wreck.

Maybe Twitterbird will do in our world what the Mockingjay did for the poor oppressed masses of Panem.

Katness won't like the Snowflake and his minions snatching her song. They have done such a good job that it sounds like she is actually singing it. It would not be the first "stranger than fiction" thing to happen in these interesting times

In the story, the song was intended to be a marching anthem by rebels who united against a dictatorial liar who lived at the height of luxury as the people he subjugated through fear, division, and intimidation starved. People sing this song as they march toward almost certain death.

I didn't see the Mockingjay movies yet (didn't care for the book). This song sounds awfully sad and somber. Is it really by a Trump supporter, or rather, it's subtle sarcasm? I had expected the Panem's anthem (Horn of Plenty) to be much more fitting for the occasion. And here's another train song (I couldn't find a good version with words, but music says it all).

A new lurking ground? :curious:
