The Concrete Rose (Inspired by Tupac Shakur)
There once was a rose made out of concrete
Becuase concrete is where it grows
Its petals frozen solid
By the ice, the wind, and snow
Though it is beautiful on the outside
Its true colors will never show
So grows the rose made out of concrete
There once was a rose made of concrete
From cracks and stone it sprang
Hard, cold, and lifeless
Its core will never change
Its lifeless beauty
Never watered by the rain
So grows the rose made out of concrete
Tupac,
The red rose that sprang from stone
Is the opposite of this carnation
Thag rests in its beauty alone
Because a rose that comes from rock
And rock that forms a rose
Are polar opposites and naturally are foes
So grows the rose made out of concrete
