The Rose That Grew from Concrete
Did u hear about the rose that frew from a crack
in the concrete
Proving nature's laws wrong it learned 2 walk
without having feet
Funny it seems but by keeping its dreams
it hearned 2 breathe fresh air
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else even cared!
--Tupac Amaru Shakur
Here's an excerpt from one of Tupac's songs relating to this poem:
They ask us why we mutilate each other like we do
And wonder why we hold such little worth for human life
Facing all this drama
But to ask us why we to turn from bad to worse
Is to ignore from which we came
You see you wouldn't ask why the rose that grew from the concrete had damaged petals
On the contrary
We would all celebrate its tenacity
We would all love its will to reach the sun
Well
We are the roses
This is the concrete
And these are my damaged petals
Don't ask me why
Thank God nigga
Ask me how

Good stuff..What's wrong wit me, these words keep slippin away, i dont
update much anymore.
Someone tell me why i should keep writing...
