Maclawrence Famuyiwa Poet Rhyme

As big as life

One day, I'll be big as life on the moon,
no need to arrive through a space-bound gate.
It’s only a matter of moments soon,
when I will escape from this earthly weight.

My presence will delight the moonlit air,
though I won’t move past its celestial gleam.
But truth will be hard for my dreams to bear,
So nights won’t remain silent to my scream.
