Rock , Paper , Scissors

Rock Paper Scissors
Pope Rabbi Imam
Conservative Democrat Independent
Money Power Control
Pay attention kids I will now explain to you the rules of engagement 
Wealth crushes power but amounts to control
Paper covers the books of both Christians Jews Muslims all religions alike 
Scissors cuts through the political rhetoric of all major parties
This is the game these are your rules 
1, 2, 3, Begin's the game of fools
Winner takes all the runner up receives this
A life without money feeling powerless a total lack of control 
Rocked crushed to debt by political insurance that cuts your health
And religious institutions that don't quantify ones faith
It's an expanded form of the game
But as you can see the rules remain unchanged
Monkey see monkey doo 
While all along we knew we knew ! !
