Why cast your pearls before those swine?

Just find good books on which to dine.

If they don’t think,

Or even can’t,

You reckon you’re some Hierophant?

Because you are,

If you’re bizarre

And don’t blend in with those

Who won’t go far

They think there’s nothing more to life

Than indulgence and to bemoan strife:

So don’t feel sad

Without dumb fad

Or peer group of

Normal lass and lad,

Just don’t stop following,

Yet learn to lead,

With every divine thing you read.

If they don’t care,

Just let them starve

The world laid bare

Needs those who carve:

New Values on some timeless clay

To keep one man from true dismay.

If they call you weird

Least you’re not steered

Like livestock who

The shepherd feared,

For their weak minds can never win

Once karma’s wheel hath come full spin.
