Question: What is your favorite poem by Tupac Shakur!?
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 shadow's Depth
so much I wanted 2 accomplish
before I reached my Death
I have come 2 grips with the possibility
and wiped the last tear from My eyes
I Loved All who were Positive
In the event of my Demise

i personally like alot of his poems, here are some that haven't been mentioned!.!.
When Ure Hero Falls:
When your hero falls from grace
all fairy tales are uncovered
Myths exposed and pain magnified
the greatest pain discovered
You taught me to be strong
but i'm confused to see you weak
You said never to give up
and it hurts to see you welcome defeat
When your hero falls so do the stars
and so does the perception of tomorrow
Without my hero there is only
me alone to deal with sorrow
Your heart ceases to work
and your soul is not happy at all
What are you expected to do
when your only hero falls
Tomorrow:
Today is filled with anger
fueled with hidden hate
Scared of being outcast
afraid of common fate
Today is built on tragedies
which no one wants to face
Nightmares to humanities
and morally disgraced
Tonight is filled with rage
violence in the air
Children bred with ruthlessness
because no one at home cares
Tonight i lay my head down
but the pressure never stops
Gnawing at my sanity
content when i am dropped
But tomorrow i see change
a chance to build anew
Built on spirit, intent of heart
and ideals based on truth
And tomorrow i wake with second wind
and strong because of pride
To know i fought with all my heart
to keep my dream aliveWww@Enter-QA@Com

Sometimes when I'm alone
I Cry,
Cause I am on my own!.
The tears I cry are bitter and warm!.
They flow with life but take no form
I Cry because my heart is torn!.
I find it difficult to carry on!.
If I had an ear to confiding,
I would cry among my treasured friend,
but who do you know that stops that long,
to help another carry on!.
The world moves fast and it would rather pass by!.
Then to stop and see what makes one cry,
so painful and sad!.
And sometimes!.!.!.
I Cry
and no one cares about why!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Did you hear about the rose that grew
from a crack in the concrete!?
Proving nature's law is wrong it
learned to walk with out having feet!.
Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams,
it learned to breathe fresh air!.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else ever cared!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

In The Depths of Solitude
A young heart with an old soul
How can there be peace!?
How can I be in the depths of solitude
When there are two inside of me!?
This duo in me causes the perfect opportunity
To learn and live twice as fast
As those who accept simplicity!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Liberty Needs Glasses
excuse me but lady liberty needs glasses
and so does mrs justice by her side
both the broads r blind as bats
stumbling thru the system
justice bumbed into mutulu and
trippin on geronimo pratt
but stepped right over oliver
and his crooked partner ronnie
justice stubbed her big toe on mandela
and liberty was misquoted by the indians
slavery was a learning phase
forgotten with out a verdict
while justice is on a rampage
4 endangered surviving black males
i mean really if anyone really valued life
and cared about the masses
theyd take em both 2 pen optical
and get 2 pair of glasses

**Here's a poem from one of my fav poets Nikki Giovanni for Tupac---u know--- to C!.Delores Tucker ---
All Eyez On U
(for 2Pac Shakur 1971-1996)
as I tossed and turned unable to achieve sleep unable to control anxiety unable to comprehend why
2Pac is not with us
if those who live be the sword died be the sword there would be no white men on the earth
if those who lived on hatred died on hatred there would be no KKK
if those who lived by lies died by lies there would be nobody on wall
street in executive suits in academic offices instructing the young
don't tell me he got what he deserved
he deserved a chariot and the accolades of a grateful people
he deserved his life
it is as clear as a mountain stream as defining as a lightning strike
as terrifying as sun to vampires
there were those who called it dirty
gansta rap inciting there were those who never wanted to be
angry at conditions but angry at the messenger who reported:
your kitchen has roaches your toilet is over flowing you basement has so much water the rats are in the living room your house is in disorder
and 2Pac told you about it
what a beautiful boy graceful carriage melodic voice sharp wit intellectual breadth
what a beautiful boy to loose
not me
never me
I don't believe east coast west coast
I saw them murder Emmett Till I saw them murder Malcolm X
I saw them murder
Martin Luther King
I witnessed them shooting Rap Brown I saw them beat LeRoi Jones
I saw them fill there jails I see them burning churches
not me
never me
I do not believe this is some sort of mouth action
This is some sort of political action and they picked well
they picked the brightest freshest fruit from the tallest tree
what a beautiful boy
but he will not go away
as Malcolm did not go away
as Emmett Till did not go away
your shooting him will not take him from us
his spirit will fill our hearts
his courage will strengthen us for the challenge
his truth will straighten our backbones
you know, Socrates had a mother
she too watched here son drink hemlock
she too asked why
but Socrates stood firm and would not lie to save himself
2Pac has a mother
the lovely Afeni had to bury her son
it is not right
it is not right that this young warrior is cut down
it is not right for the old to bury the young
it is not right
this generation mourns 2Pac as my generation mourned Till as we all mourn Malcolm
this wonderful you warrior
Sonia Sanchez said when she learned of his passing she walked all day
walking the beautiful warrior home to our ancestors I just cried as all
mothers cry for the beautiful boy who said he and Mike Tyson would
never be allowed to be free at the same time who told the truth about
them and who told the truth about us who is our beautiful warrior
there are those who wanted to make him the problem
who wanted to believe if they silenced 2Pac all would be quiet on the ghetto
front there are those who testified that the problem wasn?t the conditions
but the people talking about them
they took away band
so the boys started scratching they took away gym
so the boys started break dancing the boys started dancing the boys started rapping
cause they gave them the guns and the drugs but not the schools and libraries
what a beautiful boy to loose
and we mourn 2Pac Shakur and we reach out to his mother and we
hung ourselves in sadness and shame
and we are compelled to ask:
R U Happy, Mz Tucker!? 2Pac is gone
R U Happy!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
