Pearls Before Swine

home is where the heart is 
      I spewed forth my guts
laid open the treasure chest 
and offered up the crown jewels
while the swine cast
     their dung in the entrails

I used to know people like this. I tossed out that clutter from my mind long ago. Excellent perspective on this.
