Out of the ground <br />comes a root that has no form- <br />it has no beauty <br />in which one can adore- <br /> <br />It was created <br />to live in obscurity <br />and its color has faded <br />which takes away its delicacy <br /> <br />While springing-up into this world <br />this root grew tall <br />and sprouted-as it swirled <br /> <br />and with noone around <br />to nourish it with care, <br />this root still prospered <br />in spite of despair <br /> <br />abused and neglected <br />it never nestled <br />nor was it accepted- <br />and although it carries a sound <br />still, <br />it remains, <br />a root, <br />out of dry ground.<br /><br />Bernard Ceasar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-root-out-of-dry-ground-parti-inspired-by-tupac-s-poem-a-rose-that-grew-from-concrete/
