we are the monkeys 2




We are the monkeys
Once we ruled the forest
Living free with peaceful coexistence
Enjoying the benefits of Nature
The cool windy days of light
The big leaves and shady leaves
Blended in to protect the smaller creatures
In the forest lives have a meaningful play
Until the sound of tractors and human voices
They came with maps promising new horizon
Only we knew what we had lost then
The uneven trapping of lies, greed and corruption

We are the monkeys
We were bought and caged
Tracked out to the civilized world
Of the ills of society and hate
We can't move we are in chained
We begin to learn the unfairness of it
We make noises but nobody pays heed to us
They poked fun at our silly antics
Jumping around doing somersaults
They just throw peanuts and bananas
We knew we were fooled into the traps

We are the monkeys
Crying in our eyes and minds
Nobody cares to look at our way
The long track of our homeland
The forest of green and Nature sings
The calling of home
The sound of wind..
We can only listen
When will it be our turn?
The freedom of Nature
The swinging from tree to tree

We are the monkeys
We don't get our rights
We are caged and chained
We can do our antics
Waiting for the day
We will smell the freedom
This is the life now
We will wait for the day
It has to come for tomorrow
