Nerveless's 'Harlem Harlem'

“Harlem” The poem “Harlem” tries to define what happens to a “Dream’s Deferred”. Foremost the poem explores the problems within trying to find the American dream by asking what happen to a dream over time. Nerveless, the poem has descripted imagery that can be interpreted to try to answer the question. The poem explores the problems with finding the American dream by asking questions that all interpret to what happens to those dreams that never come true. The American dream, for many that have immigrate from all over the world to America and for those African Americans during segregation times, means one word. Freedom. Nerveless, “What is the American dream?” It’s a question that has as many answers as there are people
chasing the dream. Therefore I believe “What is your American dream?” is the question stated to suit the dreamer’s answer.
