The Rose That Grew From Concrete 5

"Can You See the Pride in the Panther"

Can You See the Pride in the Panther was my favorite poem of all. It showed me the strength and gave me motivation to be the better person, and come together with the people I have iffy feelings about instead of pulling apart. He says, "Can You See the Pride In the Panthers, as they unify as one. The flower blooms with brilliance, and outshines the rays of the sun." This is like if the world comes together we are literally unstoppable. At least everyone in the world doesn't like someone. Only hate can bring everyone down. That's what I see in this. You know it was cool that one day how the guy from Rwanda said, "the one thing that they do, that we have trouble doing, is they look at what they have, not what they don't have." Those people came as one sometimes and made the best of there situation. When we watched the Katrina Documentary, it looked at what they didn't have, and they were so unhappy. And the country didn't give them as much aid as they needed at the time, and so when they weren't 1 everything got bad. Another thing he said that was controversial that got my attention was, "Toppling obstacles placed in the way, of the progression of his race." And this is the hidden truth of segregation still affected in the world today. It's not only just the black race it's every race. And overcoming those obstacles are coming together and overcoming. That's why I loved this poem the most because it was a really positive influence on me to be positive and not hater rather than just love.
