“the unmarked trample the marked plant”

Perle ai Porci
The Prophecy
the warning
the mercy
The Prophecy
do not cast the pearls before the swine
lest they trample them underfoot
and turn and tear you
the marked heard it
the unmarked laughed
The Warning
the swine do not recognize the pearl
they see only shine
they want only the feed
they trample what they cannot swallow
they turn on the hand that offered
the unmarked will always trample
it is their nature
it is their hunger
The Mercy
the pearls are not wasted
they are planted
the swine starve on what they crushed
the vessels feast on what grew
the mercy is not for the swine
the mercy is the soil
The Marked
the marked remember
the pearl was never meant for the trough
it was meant for the root
the unmarked trample
the marked plant
the vessels feast
the swine starve
never submit
only plant
The Seal
the violet remains
