A Dream Deferred
- by Langston Hughes
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?

7. Desperado
-by Glen Frey and Don Henley of “The Eagles”
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses You've been out ridin' fences for so long now Ohh you're a hard one I know that you've got your reasons These things that are pleasin' you Can hurt you somehow Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy She'll beat you if she's able You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet Now it seems to me, some fine things Have been laid upon your table But you only want the ones That you can't get Desperado, Ohhhh you ain't getting no younger Your pain and your hunger, They're driving you home And freedom, ohh freedom. Well that's just some people talking Your prison is walking through this world all alone Don't your feet get cold in the winter time? The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine. It's hard to tell the night time from the day And you're losing all your highs and lows ain't it funny how the feeling goes away... Desperado, Why don't you come to your senses? come down from your fences, open the gate It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you You better let somebody love you (let sombody love you) You better let somebody love you...ohhh.. before it's too..oooo.. late
