“The Rose that Grew from Concrete” by Tupac Shakur
Did you hear about the rose that grew
from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature’s law is wrong it
learned to walk without having feet
Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams,
it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else ever cared.

I think that the point of this poem is to help people going through tough times. What convinced me is that when the poem says “Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared.”, I think he’s saying that you have to keep pushing and not just give up. Because when your going through a tough time, I think it’s general for people to think that no one cares about them. I also think he used a rose to symbal power and strength. I think that the tone of the poem would be firm and inspirational.
