The Monkey King
The Monkey King is your perfect metaphor for big governments, or big people, be they in the west or the east, who have power, but no morals. Who have power, but no vision. Those whom are stricken with the 'dark triad' of psychological assets that usually make a powerful riser in our human society. (Machiavellianism, narcissism and psychopathy) The Monkey King fits our human condition in every aspect.
