"What happens to a dream deferred?" by, Langston Hughes
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?

You refuse to dream? Are you talking about sleeping dreams or life dreams?
Yeah, PG, what do you mean by the title? Inquiring minds wanna know.
We can't ever stop dreaming.
BTW, Langston Hughes sounds a lot like a depressed Dr. Suess.
Okay, changed the title. Perhaps this will end the confusion.
langston, depressed, I don't think so. Well, maybe simply due to circumstance.
Angry? Yes.
He's pretty interesting and I really love his work. All of his work, in it's entirety, would be easy to find by simply doing a google search.
py: Yes, yes they do.
I've been going though some stuff the past couple of weeks and well, this was very fitting.
