Pride

The sky outside

Purple and blue,

My heart races

With all the grey faces

Of the doves,

White in flight.

A light burns

Bright and orange,

My eyes light up

Reflecting with a million more

Full of hope,

Looking to the fore.

And all the colours

White, black, brown,

Come all together

Arise as one

To embrace the future,

In this glorious nation of mine!
