What happens to a dream deferred? <br />Does it dry up <br />Like a raisin in the sun? <br />Or fester like a sore-- <br />And then run? <br />Does it stink like rotten meat? <br />Or crust and sugar over-- <br />like a syrupy sweet? <br />Maybe it just sags <br />like a heavy load. <br />Or does it explode?<br /><br />Langston Hughes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dream-deferred/
