Dream Crushers

Dream Crushers

 

Hold fast to your dreams

Protect them with all of your might

Don’t ever dim those dreams

 Because some, find them to be too bright

 

Hold on to your dreams

Don’t ever let go

Even if they deem you a “Dreamer”

To make you feel low

 

They want to kill your dreams

Because their dreams are done

Suck the life right out of you

Like a raisin in the sun

Don't ever give up

Don't fall for their plan

To wake you to their world

Separating you from the Sand Man

 

Their infectious misery spreads

They want to make you suffer

Determination

 Is the greatest weapon

Against the Dream Crushers

 

Author's Note

An ode to "Dream Deferred" by Langston Hughes

Reviews

just like "dream deferred" by langston hughes...

we can shelve the dreams and let them fester like sores....or

maybe they can explode into fruition..

hopefully the latter...

you have such a strong voice.
