The Rose That Grew From Concrete

By Tupac Shakur

Did you hear about the rose that grew from concrete
Proving natures laws wrong it learned to walk without having feet
Funny it seems to be but by keeping its dreams
It learned to breathe fresh air
Long live the ride that grew from concrete
When no one else even cared!

Don't criticise unless you've actually read his collection of poems 'The Rose that grew from Concrete'
Tupac was an incredible writer he wrote poetry and songs and is truly inspirational. He was the rose, something beautiful and misunderstood with his thorns, that came out of the concrete, the ghetto full of poverty and dismay. He was finally able to breath.
Love you Tupac.

Words

The words that we speak be they strong or weak Shape the person we show to others we know. Words make lovers swoon 'by the light of a silvery moon' A magical phrase cuts through doubts haze.

Love Is...

Love is a song. That you sing to me. Love is creation. Wild and free. Love is a dance. That moves within me. Love is the place. Where dreams begin. Love is a bird. On freedoms wings.

Message

A little message for @Jatt. Seems you're a dog, not a cat. You decided to play. And cheated your way. We expected better than that. What a shame you cannot stay. With all this on your head today.

Jatt The Cat Maybe A Rat

Recently I heard of a cat, More like a mouse, A cat named Jatt, Jatt the cat. Rather a rat. Opussians cried at literature wrongly placed, And wrongly accused. In the wrong spot, Mismatched, Misplaced.

Unfinished Business

A bunch of unfinished stuff. Love & hope: Love is temporary. Hope is eternal. Little fair girl: Little fair girl, with your bucket so pink. Why do you want to pour your heart into the sink.

Words And Paper

This ink as dark as night, This paper as light as day. Although these words are dark, Their colour means no decay. The paper on the other hand... Spreads the lies as quick as fire.

Perfection

I know this makes me a hypocrite, But I really am fed up of it. I'd like to complain about the complaints, That, this lovely app, do taint. I want to hear a poem of love, An animal tale about a dove.
