Thought
Uhunoma Leonard Iyahen 1986 (United States)
Thought they could escape the stressful road so they fly the air.
Thought they could escape the pot holes so they fly with birds.
Thought they were flying on doves unknown to them they fly on vultures
Thought they would never set their foot on land, now they rest in peace inside the land.
Thought they could beat the traffic, now they stuck in traffic.
Now the remaining are scared of doves cause they think they are vultures.
Now the remaining will repair the roads since vultures fly the air.
