Once there was a fire, brighter than the rest,
But then something happened,
The fire is no longer a blazing, unstoppable flame,
No, it's almost dead,
People lost faith,
There's only a few embers left in the dying fire,
A fire that needs to be fed.

All it needs is some care and fuel,
But who will tend the fire?,
Everyone has left because it is so small,
No longer comforting, only a few remain,
One is a shy but loving person, they will but they're scared,
One is a foreigner, they don't understand,
One is rebellious, with a fine mind too,
One is loving but ignorant,
The fire asks "who?".

The ignorant tries to help but ends up choking the fire with plastic -not wood,
They get upset and run off home, leaving the fire to the foreigner, a friend.

Now, the foreigner has tended many other fires but none like this,
They try to completely rebuild the fire but gets bored so falls asleep,
The others wonder what to do next,
To leave the fire to the foreigner or to try to fix it and take the next huge leap.

The rebellious and the shy join together and take the lead,
Whilst the foreigner is sleeping, they remove the plastic that has infested the dancing flames with smoke and fumes,
Together, they have the perfect traits: confident, loving and most of all, determined,
They slowly rebuild the fire and as it grows, the people started coming back to the bright fire,
Old friends who had lost faith that the fire will ever be fixed,
Once back, no one wants the same to happen again so everyone does their duty well.

The foreigner leaves, feeling outnumbered and defeated,
The ignorant learns and takes control,
The shy and rebellious help keep the fire and make sure it will never fall again.

The fire once again becomes the greatest, brightest fire ever,
Those who ever doubted it are ashamed,
The fire will dance for eternity,
And happiness will be left on the people who came.

This also somewhat reminds me of Les Miserables.
