Dreams
by Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
Careful Missus,
Langston Hughes was both a homosexual and a Communist (i.e. collectivist). You may be looked upon in a terrible light for associating yourself with the literary work of such a dangerous and radical individual.
Right is right and the test of right is its recursive rightness.
Langston Hues could have been wrong in every thought but one and this one being that poem the poem suffers not the wrong of every other thought from the same head , but benefits rather from the broken clock rule.
