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.
