Dream Deferred
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

Politicians and poetry
"If more politicians knew poetry, and more poets knew politics, I am convinced the world would be a little better place in which to live." - John F. Kennedy
