Undying Rose Poem by James Darwin Smith II

Undying rose standing strong
So much pain, still going on
Such vile pollution all around
Euthanized environment
Soiled stench into the ground
But the undying rose battles on
Despite the world's toxic waste intentions



In the surrounding ugliness
A Beauty she stands alone
Being poisoned by insidious correlations
All around and around they go
Trying to kill her spirit
But her spirit will never let go



Onward and fighting
Weary bones
Never quitting in this battle
Striving all by herself in psychical form



Such a warrior she is
One that has taken so much pain
Her mind still strong
Nothing will ever break her
She is one in the endless garden of knowledge
In which she never stops growing



This undying rose I admire so dearly
Fearless yet weary
But she keeps going on
So proud and strong



If she looks back
She can truly see
How far shall has truly come



So proud of this undying rose
In spirit and support I am here
She will never be all alone



Here is to the beauty of the undying rose
