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

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 :)

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

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

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.
