What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester lke a sore-
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?

What happens to your hopes?
Does it freeze
like the snow in the winter?
Or break like old concrete
And then turn to dust?
Does it taste like rotten fruit?
Or sweet and soft
like a gum?
Maybe it just pops
like bubbles.
Or does it disappears?

What I'm trying to say is what happens when a
hope is not accomplish. Does all this things happened to that hopes.
Because they are not accomplish they disappears and forgotten.

"There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, when will you be satisfied?" Martin Luther King Jr. (pg.372)
This was something important for them because they were not satisfied on how they were treaded. They did not had justice. They were not treaded equally like the rest of the people. So they would be satisfied until they had what they want. This is important to me because he was giving them hopes to never give up. Always try the best to make them be heard. To finally make them satisfied.

hey i like ur poem its really nice.it seem like u really put some thought into it good job. ur poem made alot of sense and it sound like a poet wrote it! dont forget comment blog!!
hey erika your poem it was interesting. it was also very well how u explained that quote. its so great what one person did for so many people that needed to take action about not being treated right. yup i agree with you tht to always make sure u are heard by people n never keep things to yourself.
i like how your poem was simple but complex. I can tell you really but a lot of thought into it. Dreams can leave in a flash if we just give up.
thanks for the comment
wow i really like how you did your poem it really seems the same but has more things that we can connect to and understand because the words that you used are more understandable than the one that the poem uses.
