A Dream Deferred
by Langston Hughes
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?

(24,524 posts)not my grandchildren's. What is our country going to become when we so casually kill large numbers of young AA men? Wives with no mates, children with no security or role models. It is not a dream deferred, it is thousands of dreams destroyed, not in just one generation but also the ones that follow. It has to end, but how is beyond me.
Sorry to rant on your thread, sheshe2. I am so depressed for our future.

Our country owes an enormous debt to these brave people for speaking out about this terrible act. Their fight is a righteous cause which can lead us all to peace and freedom.
