Stop

Stop.

Take a deep breath.

Is this where you want to be?

Is this where you thought your life would lead?

Stop.

Give it a chance.

Follow your dream to no end.

Never keep pushing just to pretend.

Just stop.

Look at this injustice.

A child's hopes getting crushed,

People too caught in the fight they feel rushed they

Can't stop.

To hear the world.

Millions of voices in hunger and crying.

In  desperate attempt, our young men go dying.

It won't stop.

Until we see.

Until we open our ears

And God holds us close and wipes our tears.

Stop...

Did you hear that?

The silence of peace all around?

As murder and sin melt and grace is found?

Just stop.
