poem.
The Variation of Dreams
(after
Langston Hughes’ Dreams)
Dreams are
life
Dreams are lungs
breathing air twice
Dreams are
songs you want to sing out loud
Dreams are black
skin wearing freedom proud
Dreams will
make you cry
Dreams will
make you ask a million questions “why”
Dreams will
make you sore
Dreams will burn
your fingers down to the core
Dreams will have
the world laughing at you
Dreams will
have the world throwing cash at you
Dreams can be
sabotaged
Dreams can
be camouflaged
Dreams can
be manipulated
Dreams can
be stimulated
Dreams can just be a daydream
Dreams can calculate
a new mean
Dreams will
never be, if you never be,
The dreamer beyond
the dreaming scene
D'Elegant One
