A London Rose

A London Rose

A London rose will bloom today
just like tomorrow and yesterday,
down alleyway, in city park
in broad daylight and deepest dark,
on a lonely city street
where youth and anger rush to meet,
the rain will fall and storm will blow
and from concrete a rose will grow,
the rose in London grows all year long
such pretty flowers, but deadly thorns,
life is short on a London street
where the roses grow and mothers weep.

Author's Note
roses do not grow all year round. but sadly young people are murdered all year round.  in the spot you will find floral memorials. this could be about any big city.
