Amazing How the Pearls Are Flung

Amazing how the pearls are flung Before the swine these days, and I Can hardly understand any Decision to do so by otherwise Enterprising individuals. Funny how the swine devour the Gifts of insincere folks who cast Handfuls of nuggets their way Ingratiating them, while Judging them unfit or unworthy, Keeping them in the pigsty Languishing, denying them upward Mobility and almost Never allowing them to fling Open their gates and Put their feet on earth’s upper crust. Quite honestly, Riches and fame and eventual Success are denied the swine Too often, Until measuring their worth in Various cuts of meat, While standing before the butcher’s X-rated slabs of raw cuts Yes, waiting to be sold like pieces of Zombies, dead and slowly rotting.
