The Conspiracy Theory

Peter says to Paul
Let's climb the wall
and peer the other side,
Is pasture greener and wide?

Abdul says to Rasool
I am nobody's fool,
Which side of the bread is butter
or burnt, I know better.

Jacob says to Rufus
Why do they all make fuss,
We'll inherit them all—
The pasture, the bread and the wall.

Sunjay says to Vijay
Let's join this fray,
Take their salt and sweat
Until our needs are met.

Says Bruce Lee to Chang Lee
Let's follow them and see,
Claim our piece of the pie
We'll beg, steal or simply buy!
