a country on Earth.
if it take another year,
we shall bide our time here,
if it mean to cross a river,
we shall not reconsider,
The Ducks will rule,
and defeat the hard-headed fool,
the Prophecy will be true,
but only the Duck Gods will bring it through.


E: this was my first time doing poetry since 3rd grade, cut me some slack please
nice poetry man.

Duck gods?
I mean, this is a duck society, not a cult religion... There are prominent ducks, prophetic ducks, and peripheral ducks. Not pagan ducks...

I liked the pertinent poem, though! You appear to possess primarily pretty prose!

Found this prophecy in Romania and translated it.

Lister to my tale of woe;
Although the ducks may have few foe;
They will surely be a failer;
Now, this may be just a trailer;
But the ducks think they will prevail;
Alas, it will be to no avail;
Surely they will fall;
They are nothing but small.

Found this one in Germany, but it was in English. Darn it, I wanted to translate something... :(

*Ahem*
*clearing throat noises*
*Ahems again*
*coughs*
*says, "Um...," as he finds the line...*

My life, it seems, is but a seam
In the pillowcase that holds my dream
Of one in which the world at large
Hears of life without the large
Duck society they find
That peeled to ashes, like a rind
Of orange, red as blood that's shed
In my nightmare, in my bed
We must wake up and mend the sky
Before dark evil's lullaby
Destroys and makes us say goodbye
False prophecies are like a nightmare:
With words discouraging, goodness rare
Listen to truth, and truth will listen
Focus on light, and light will glisten
'Fore this year's winter is past
Ducks will win, and others shall fast

The first line in my sig says always hungry though...
See, that just means it's true. Duck prophecies are the best.

EDIT: I can see you might be confused...
If you're always hungry, fasting could be a line from the prophecy that pertains to this situation. That's what I meant.

hi, ducklings.
Welcome. The duck cause will ignite, and burn with fiery passion as it spreads. Its energy will bring us to paradise and bring peace and harmony back to this planet Earth that we share, and nobody will be alone. You have made the right decision in embarking on this journey with us, and are on your way to greatness.

Also, cool profile pic! Most ducks don't have a GIF. Victor, my pet duck, also sends his compliments, with me, from the Hotel Denouement ruins.

I hate not getting notifs for off-topic threads.

As you may have noticed I haven't said much in regards to the Ducks in a while. I am currently undertaking a project of writing the life story of the great Duck prophet, the very one that gave @MJbaka the first major prophecy, I think it will greatly help educating others on Duck history and the like. I believe I have enough material that I may begin writing shortly. I don't know how long this project will take but I intend to at the very least present it to every one here.

Another thing, you may have noticed I changed my profile picture. Does that mean I am no longer a Duck? Of course not! You can't just change your species as you see fit (With a couple exceptions)! The prophecy would not have named me one of the four if I was not truly a Duck. There is a microscopic possibility that there was a mistake in our (the 4) understanding of the prophecy but I highly doubt that. I just wanted to pay some respect to these ancient beasts. The forbearer of both birds and mammals. Ducks being the most direct decedent on the bird side and beavers on the mammal side. They were the first created creature on the fifth day of creation.
