Speech"?

A Dream Deferred
Langston Hughes (1902-1967)
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 sagsLike a heavy load.
Or does it explode?

Think about how these lyrics connect to Dr. King's speech.
