Make it Stop

The noise,

oh so much noise.

Please make it stop.

The crying of the children,

their cries of hunger and lonliness.

The screaming of parents,

while they fight with their spouse.

The crack of a gun,

as another innocent life is taken.

Please Make it stop.

The cursing of kids

who shouldn't even know that word.

The siniter laughter of bullies,

as they take on 3 to 1.

The weeping of the teenager

who is so confused.

Please Make it stop.

The yelling of the politicans,

Telling you what to do.

The sound of a knife,

as someone takes their own life.

The groans of the homeless,

who no one will care for.

Please Make it stop.

The cries of the orphans,

who no one would love.

The arguing of parent and child,

as they try their own way.

The rattle of a container,

as the drug is taken.

Please Make it stop.

The crude talk of the drunken,

and they way they treat people.

The crying of a dog,

as they are beaten.

And they thoughts in my own head,

that sometimes even I can't silence.

Make it stop,

make it stop,

make it stop.
