Good little monkey
No one decides
Who tells their story
Not the little turtle who grew
the tree in the ground,
or the Middle class
working from the ground up
While the turtle gave
to his little monkey friend
The system took all the working had
The monkey ate all of the delicious bananas
and the system took
all of the delicious freedon
But the turtle and we
know who grew the tree
(based on the Filipino folklore story the monkey and the turtle)
