One Another

One cycle begins
another is done.
One life ends
another is begun.

One fortune lost
another is won.
One has more
another has none.

One carries flowers
another a gun
One gets kisses
another gets hung.

One hand offered
another one shun
One child learns
another is numb.

One soul saved
another to come
One is another
another is one.
