PEARLS B4 THE SWINE

If I leave my front door open
would u come and visit me?
Just 2 slander my name hopin’
that I would pack my bags and leave...
If I did would u remember
2 feed the dove and clean the cage?
And never count in front of the children
lest they die of old age

I don’t really know y we have 2 go r separate ways
Whether or not we grow after the seeds r sown
Only time can say...

Can I offer u baklava
or a bagel with cream cheese?
Will we say grace 2 r father
holding hands down on r knees?
R we better off just fighting?
U on ur side, me on mine
R the words that I keep writing...
only pearls b4 the swine?

What makes a man claim that u’re a friend
when u’re not at all?
They knock u down and then,
they lift u up again, just 2 c u fall...
But like a bird I‘ll keep on singing...
a song that never leaves ur mind
If nothing else u’ve taught me one thing...
“Never cast ur pearls b4 the swine”
.

Matthew 7:6:
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. KJV

Matthew 7:6
You must never give the things that are sacred to dogs, and you must never throw your pearls before hogs, for fear they might trample them under their feet and turn and tear you to pieces. Williams

An example of introverted parallelism, the usual mode of poetry among the Hebrews and common mode of expression in proverbs...where one part of the sentence answers to another part. Each part expresses essentially the same thing with some additions or modifications.
Here the dogs turn and rend and the swine trample.

Interesting that he would use phrasing from the King James version, given what he says at shows.
Maybe the New World translation also includes that translation?
