In class we talked about the poem that talks about what happens to a dream that is left to fester. It talks about how if it is not followed by the person hows dream it is then it because something demented. The dream could become something twisted and evil in that it is not what it originally was. It could fester and rot like the poem said. It could be referring to the fact that the people in Harlem could not follow there dreams and this causes sadness and unrest. The people in Harlem didn't have the money or resources to be successful and weren't able to follow there dreams. The poem also gives a voice to the people in Harlem so that people realize  the situation they are in and how it needs to change. The poem also talks in a negative tone about how the black people in Harlem are oppressed. It could also be seen as referring to the fact that time is up and the dreams might explode.
