Cease

Everyday on the news someone gets hurt,
every week another person get buried in the dirt.

I saw one little girl with a black eye.
I wonder if the next time she gets hurt--will she die?

Its so sad that I hear all these things on the news,
seeing so many family members singing the blues.

I hope to God that one day it will stop--
an end to the guns that go 'pop!'

I pray that one day we will live in peace.
and all of the violence in the world will one day cease.
