How many times
will he be back again
How many times will he cry
Why does his soul refuse to learn
As the centuries just fly by
Lessons so simple
kindness a fault
Nothing but hate in his heart
simple changes were simply needed
but he didn't know where to start
So back again this time his last
for nothing will stop him now
Promises made from his review
and an angel to show him how
Finally after many tries
he finds what was always there
Something that he had missed before
the art of learning to care.

Awesome!
This is a really cool poem.
I couldn't quite see how it was about reincarnation at first though, as I didn't realise it was about reincarnation, but then I saw the contest it was for, and I read it again, and it made so much more sense.
I really like the first stanza though too. It creates the foundation for the rest of the poem and it's some great lines to begin with.
I also love how you have 5 lines in each stanza, except the last one, and how the fifth line of each stanza rhymes with the third line.
But yeah so I enjoyed reading it =]
Good luck with the contest.
