So yet, another revolution around the sun

Another war, battle and pampas of genocide
Another round of hate and prejudice
Another bomb of mass destruction
Another dream lost its way
Another son missing on mountain hillsides
Another cycle of melting icecaps
Another zealot, preacher and imprudent leader
Another politician to bite the dust
Another family of heartache, blood and tears
Another father dead in shadows of the hood
Another daughter battered and bruised
Another wife strung out on meth
Another child without a home

Another chance to envision a future
Another opportunity to relinquish the odium of distrust
Another caretaker to assist in healing
Another volunteer to feed the hungry
Another remedy to heal the ill
Another dreamer to articulate the homeland
Another shaman to shape the void
Another door leading to hope
Another window opened to honesty
Another juncture to seek clarification
Another whisper roaring with truth
Another vision to see beyond the stars
Another poem balanced with life
