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?

America's insane with racism in their veins
it's why i don't know my original name
talking back to the cops then you'll be in vein
and sometimes if your lucky you won't get slain
gone from our wrist was shackles and chains
all we did was trade it for fortune and fame
children raised by this try to do the same thing
and will wonder who was the reason to blame
still in pain it will never be the same
when you go nobody will remember your name
all of the negativity in the sight that was plain
civil and equal rights were the fight for humanes
in power are the ones that hurt you
control like a monopoly board and won't employ you
all they do is make more money that destroys fools
see corporations are not for the people
they keep electing persons who are spiteful and evil
but can you really see through, will you unite the 99%
the true meaning of we the people
for one i'm already devastated, i have a brother that's incarcerated
the system failed and he will never make it
i feel like my skins cursed people of the opposite color hated  
and i feel like I've been amazing
before i go just remember this saying
sometimes you gotta be the defendant before you can be a plaintiff

Maybe i misjudged the situation
Maybe i'm alright where i am
It's too soon to know
And all i can do is grow
Sometimes i feel slow
My life is like a circus show
But who runs this i don't know
The best put steps forward
Right to left and back again
There is no chain of command
No one to turn too
In a world so cold
Many will use you
This man asked me a question
What do you do too keep happy
I smiled and replied gladly
To my son be the best daddy
