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?

    … it justifies a lot of chaos, anger, hate, violence, disorder, discontent.

    … a dream should never be deferred.

    … but a dream unattainable is an illusion.

    The dream forced to sit idle hardens into an unusable substance of thoughts that separates, it themselves from the goals and form idle destructive thoughts that are
    crusted over with despair, doubt, anger, and hatred.

    So keep on keeping on for that dream!!
