In the night's dark shroud, where secrets overflow,

Lurking shadows dance, where the Italian Mafia go.

They speak in whispers, their tongues laced in stealth,
Gangsters and wise guys, playing the game of wealth.

Amidst the tangled web, in a world so cruel,

A solitary rose blooms, defying the turbulent rule.
Its crimson petals unwavering, a symbol of defiance,
A fragrant beacon of hope, trapped in a world of silence.

With power and savagery, the Mafia reigns supreme,

But even the boldest hearts long for a dream.
In the midst of a deal, a rose lies beside a gun,
A delicate reminder of love, beauty yet undone.

Each petal a metaphor, for every life lost,

In this clandestine underworld, where sin has a cost.
For the rose tells a story, of passion and desire,
A fragile elegance, that the Mafia can't acquire.

As the moonlight cascades, onto concrete streets,

The scent of the rose, an enchanting retreat.
For even in darkness, when danger emerges near,
The rose flourishes, in a world driven by fear.

The Don, with a watchful gaze, contemplates his sway,

A chessboard of power, where loyalties betray.
Yet the rose's fragrance, whispers a love so pure,
In the heart of a gangster, an undying allure.

But beware, for the thorns of the rose doth sting,

The Mafia's empire, fueled by suffering.
Betrayal ignites fires, leaving scars in its wake,
Yet the rose grows stronger, through the choices we make.

So, let us remember, as we walk this tangled path,

The rose and the Mafia, a tale of love's aftermath.
For in the darkest corners, where shadows choose to thrive,
A single rose blooms, reminding us to survive.
