When Will it Stop?

 I love to write poetry, and have a few books I've released with poetry. I wrote this yesterday in the way of so much evil and confusion in the world. 

When will it stop?

When will it stop?
the blood, and the tears?
is it all caused by fear?
what's lurking so near?

The violence continues
it's stretched back for years
who listens to cries?
who sees endless tears?

If only they'd listen
they don't understand,
the hatred so deep
the bloodshed at hand.
