The News by Hannah M.

Today I saw some stories on the news
Asking for tips asking for clues
Please bring our daughter back to us
A suicide bomber was on a bus

There's been a murder in this town
A little boy hit, a policeman shot down
The verdict for the trial still not decided
An old man cheated, completely misguided

A mother killed and her unborn son
Who did it, when was it done?
All of these stories, heard in one night
How many people were alone in the fight?

Stories we don't want to keep hearing again
People are dying, innocent women and men

When will it cease
The hating decrease
The loving increase
When will we live in peace?
