Pearls before

O you pilferous swine,
Blessing blood back to wine,
Stealing that which cannot be replaced.
Save face, your economy has gone mad.
I like the trees, dreams and fiends,
That which cannot be seen,
A hand in the background
Swiping dreams for green.
You’ve stolen so
Goddamn much.
Please take me next;
Fight your wars,
Waste that which is to be wasted,
like you, wasted.
Coke and smokes;
Big tobacco means so much.
Drench your cigarette sorrows
In the pools of oil ridden corpses.
Let the world turn gray
Against the beautiful-
Bomb-streaked skies
Paint your portrait of
False pain
Love your country
And let doves
Fly free.
O you damn dirty swine

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it

-- Omar Khayyam
