Pearls and PigsA Poem by Alvin L. Kathembe
You are careless with jewels;
You do not know their worth You cast in the sewers The gems of the earth. I gave you a ruby It was as bright as the day - It once adorned your bosom But you cast it away. I gave you a diamond, And you would have it still; But you are careless with jewels And pawned it for a thrill. I gave you a pure pearl It shone like a star; But you are careless with jewels, As all swine are. © 2014 Alvin L. Kathembe |
