“For the record, here’s Shakur’s rose poem:

Did you hear about the rose that grew

from a crack in the concrete?

Proving nature’s laws wrong it

learned to walk with out 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 will admit the poem is thought provoking and IMO good. That is all I will say on this issue. I'm sure when I was taking English many were offended when we studied Beatles' lyrics as poems such as “Eleanor Rigby”.
