WHICH IS BETTER

He looked at me and said “you are a monkey and still live on tress”

They all laugh saying you are dark skin and ugly.

But they have hairs and skin of an animal I hate most.

The animal could use its young ones for breakfast when hungry.

The animal is used as symbol to insult people.

One could fight if been compared with this animal.

Thou it is a domestic animal, it is very destructive.

Its call a pig.

As the monkeys always live together, so also we are in one communion.

As the monkeys are very intelligent, so also we are creative.

There is communal living and we show concern for those we know or not.

We all know our neighbours and support them with love.

They represent the pig by been selfish and greedy.

They stole many things from us and are willing to do more.

They are destructive and show no love.

One could stay for donkey years and still not know who stays next door.

I prefer been a monkey than a pig.

Fellow folks lets not emulate their bad way of life.

There is joy in practicing our culture and traditions.

But for the monkeys among the pigs do not forget where you come from.
