Harlem Poem

The following poem named “Harlem”, was written by Langston Hughes, a black poet - as an artistic cry of protest against racial injustice in US. In many ways, it applies to Muslims in the Western countries, including Canada:

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?
