A Root Out Of Dry Ground(Parti) (Inspired By Tupac’s Poem A Rose That Grew From Concrete) Poem by Bernard Ceasar

Out of the ground
comes a root that has no form-
it has no beauty
in which one can adore-

It was created
to live in obscurity
and its color has faded
which takes away its delicacy

While springing-up into this world
this root grew tall
and sprouted-as it swirled

and with noone around
to nourish it with care,
this root still prospered
in spite of despair

abused and neglected
it never nestled
nor was it accepted-
and although it carries a sound
still,
it remains,
a root,
out of dry ground.
