Dream Deferred Poem by Langston Hughes
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?
I love Langston Hughes! ! ! The way he uses his words is so creative and just hottt.
One of the finest poems of all time. A capture of Injustice in concise, poetical language….
