Deferred.

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?

    love this era of Lauryn Hill.  hadn't seen this particular video yet however.  it's too bad Lauryn didn't follow her own advice recently and "Live Well"...

    Unfortunately I'm not in the loop on Lauryn's current status..I hope she's not in poor health.  I can say I do miss her music terribly.  This video is about New Orleans, not offical, but impressive in my eyes.

    poor mental health if anything.  she had a bad Whitney Houston moment last Fall at a concert in Brooklyn.  she showed up 2 hours late and appeared wasted on something.  this pic is from that same show, peeps said she looked like a clown:

    hopefully she's been resting since then and will return for real with the strength and vibrance that we've come to love...
