We Are All Fighting For What Is Not Ours

Like stranger I’m living,

Walking like of villagers,

My cloth is slight,

But my body is jumbo.

Diverse things I desire,

They are sheer sheen,

Like zebra in hue,

And I run fast to acquire.

Moon sleeps, sun awakes,

Wind blows to and fro,

Dove flies gently,

Peacock is proud of its beauty,

The things with me are:

Rag, betrayer, and garbage;

I’m now like the wood-carrier,

Then, I strive to bear my baggage.

….

(Self-translation from Yoruba)
