When Deferred Dreams Become Blurred Visions... (Apropos Hughes's Proverbial Question)

CATEGORY

What happens when rotten strange fruit…
Hanging from trees of auction block wood
Become stinking pieces of black flesh…dried blood
Putrefying in murderous streets…?

When crystallized tears of remorse…Laden and loaded
With explosive grief…flow down weary faces
Wrinkled by time’s trials, tribulations and treacherousness—
And neglect of freedom, justice and equality
All become like inconsequential sunned raisins and festering sores…?

When visions of deferred dreams become blurred realities
Fogged by the steam of volcanic anger…Pray tell…What happens?
Pray tell…What happens?  And then what?—Pray tell!

Much thanks my Brother for the read and encouraging feedback. Langston Hughes has been the late 1950's. He was and remains an echoing...vibing Poet. Peace and Love, mlowe5
