Don't Feed The Pigs-

Don't Feed The Pigs

If in the muddy pens of sin you seek
to cast your pearls as bribes to gain men's love,
the swine of earth will feed upon your soul;
your virtue swallowed whole by dispassionate pigs.

The scriptures say, "Cast not your pearls to swine."
Don't let your love be heard by careless ears
which then on twisted tongues will spread their lies
that drag your witness down to dark despair.

Your words and acts, enlightening souls of men,
must bear discernment: how and where they'll grow.
Seek not to be all things to all mankind,
and tell what's in your heart to chosen few.


Reason for writing:

    Most of the poems I write are inspired by The King James
version of The Holy Bible.  This is no exception :::
     "Cast not your pearls before swine"
