A Dream Deferred Quotes

“نشبه لإيه؟؟
نشبه لأي إتنين يحبوا و ميقولوش!
نشبه لإيه؟
لإلي خايفين يحلموا ف مبيعيشوش
و ملقوش طريق يتقابلوا فيه..نشبه لإيه؟
نشبه حكايات عيشتها..أو حلم ناقص و إنتهى..
نشبه حاجات مش وقتها..أو جرح متعود عليه
نشبه لإيه؟!”
― مصطفى إبراهيم

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?”
― Langston Hughes
