Toxic concrete
Desperation's jungle
Wrapped around throats
 
Full of cracks
And broken things
Hopeless and ****
 however
So every so often
Up comes a rose
Perfectly grown
 perfect
Among chaos
Despite cracks
The broken things
Those desperate minds
And toxic hard things
   survival 
Suffering
   to survive
And up came this rose
Perfect among chaos
Beautiful in any venue
 in any language
Perfect and exposed
Admired but left alone
   respected beauty 
Because old friend....
Every so often
When it's hope
That every so often
Grows where it shouldn't
It breeds more
  inside
It shows beauty
And a message
   that says
Every so often
Anything is possible
That everything can be beautiful
Even all that is ugly
Can become all that was ugly
So we can be beautiful
     objectively
     together
Knowing no shame
Fearless and finding...
Happening
Hopefully
     upon the lost of us
To find the best in us
