Lo! Behold the duck,
Since I have life i can fly,
Flying above the rock.
Yet I fly not because i have no wings like an auk,
The weight of this stone really sucks i can die,
Lo! Behold the duck.
And my prowess and profound strength in the muds are stuck,
Thousands times have wished to fly,
Flying above the rock.
How many times have thou try thy luck,
Thousands time have used my wings to fly,
Lo! Behold the duck.
A day eaglet do not go on tour,
Many times the wings will fail to fly,
Flying above the rock.
What’s the number thou have tried thy luck,
And move to halt because thou can’t fly,
Lo! Behold the duck,
Flying above the rock.
-Boluwatife Alabi
