Peotry by Tupac:
This poem comes for the book "The Rose that grew
from concrete". The book contains poems written by and about Tupac.
In the event of my Demise
In the event of my Demise
when my heart can beat no more
I Hope I Die For A Principle
or A Belief that I had Lived 4
I will die Before My Time
Because I feel the shadows Depth
so much I wanted 2 accomplish
before I reached my Death
I have come to grips with the possibility
and wiped the last tear from My eyes
I Loved All who were Positive
In the event of my demise
