What do you think this poem is about?

A Better Time

Today is ravaged
and I am afraid
for our tomorrow

I hear the voice of the wind
and I am plunged into doubt
I do not know how the future stands

Violence has led us astray
in vengeance we find solace
we are caught in a bloody relay

we pay tribute to ignorance
we fail to believe that
our tomorrow will be good.
