My Thoughts And Prayers Are With The Iranian People Tonight

Dream Deferred


What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?

Or fester like a sore--And then run?

Does it stink like rotten meat?

Or crust and sugar over--like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?


Langston Hughes
