Two fables of social justice

Tom Monto

Updated: Mar 12, 2021

“The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe. For the axe was clever & convinced the trees that because his handle was wood, he was one of them”

--- West Asian Fable



"So the maples formed a union

And demanded equal rights

"The oaks are just too greedy

We will make them give us light"

Now there's no more oak oppression

For they passed a noble law

And the trees are all kept equal

By hatchet, axe, and saw"

-- Neil Elwood Peart
