Oh Ye Pig

Oh Ye Pig
Let me understand you and feel your pain
For you have been labeled unclean
And a derogotory name to many
Some refuse to have you on there plate
While others can't keep you off there plate
I see you led as the sheep to the slaughter
To see you in your entrapment
You love to eat and I notice roll in the mud
As if you are digging a hole for more water
Now we will pause and remember when
You had a good shepherd that kept His eyes on you
You would graze in the meadows
Having an unlimited amount of food 
Just enjoying the company of the others
There was a lake for when you would thirst
Then came a man full of demons
The demons entertained him for a long time
Causing him to be cast out into the tombs
Jesus came by him one day and cast them out
The demons said we can at least go into the pigs
So Jesus did allow this, it was around 2 thousand
And when the demons entered these pigs 
They knew right away and took notice
As one took off to the lake they all did
They wanted the water to try and wash this off
But the only way was to drown
So now in there entrapment they are digging
A hole so if a human walks by and evil spirit
Comes there way they have a puddle to hide there head under to escape this lifestyle
From the legend of a wise pig herd
So why do humans entertain unclean spirits
And not even know it in everyday life
For they cant recognize this within
Because this is what man desires in the flesh
When one gets tired of all the foolishness 
Jesus shall drop a running fountain on your head
And wash you clean to have rest for your soul
Then you will become led as a sheep to be slaughter

Anne-Lise Andresen December 8, 2022 at 7:45 AM ... whatever ... I can eat both pig and sheep :))) - A legend is primarily a story (true or not) ... thank you for the food :) - Stephan McBride December 10, 2022 at 6:31 AM : ). Love this , it's great just to see from other parts of the world, you have a great personality, love it Anne-Lise Andresen December 8, 2022 at 10:32 AM Norway has stricter regulations "regulations on the keeping of pigs" and treatment of the meat ... pig is just as "clean" as all other animals :) - ... seafood : The sea is fed with large amounts of man-made garbage (plastic ... oil ... ) ... and metals such as copper, lead, mercury and cadmium - But I eat fish :) Stephan McBride December 8, 2022 at 8:30 AM I definitely don't see it as legend , I was trying to refer it being passed down from the wise pig to the other pigs to be aware of these humans : ). Love ya Stephan McBride December 8, 2022 at 8:18 AM It's when you see the pig as clean and man as unclean , the pig is scared of the evil from man, we are all unclean in the flesh until we are reborn into a Child of God Stephan McBride December 8, 2022 at 8:00 AM : ) this is a hilarious reply,. But many religions won't allow it,. I work for seventh day Adventist company inspired, not even ham in the vending machines , nothing wrong with that just there views, I have learned to respect and love all, also many fish and shrimp, I am thinking I am not gonna make it into this religion, catfish,pork and seafood is my fav.
