Like the Phoenix

Like the mythical bird of fire
We rise from the ashes

Never truly defeated
Even when we have lost all the will to live

For even in the darkest places
Humanity finds hope. 

We strive every day, rising from the ashes
Never allowing ourselves to be extinguished
Always burning brightly into the night

Humanity ablaze with:
A fusion of colors 
A fusion of minds

A combination of our differences
A combination of our uniqueness

Burning in a glory of reds, oranges, and blues
Burning in a splendor of awe.
