A Phoenix reborn

A wild bird

Soaring in the sky

Happy and care free

The sun above

And the wind beneath me

Flying through sights 

as beautiful as can be

But the people wanted a war

They wanted a victory 

They shot me down

And burned my feathers

Broken wings lied upon the ground

I lay still but groaning in sound

Once bright and full of life

Now withered and tethered 

They left me there wounded and weak

They perished in their unworthy defeat

 

But not yet did the people know

The fight I had in mind and soul

I rose from the ashes

I am a Phoenix 

Again I will be whole
