Pearls Before Swine

I used to wish meanly 

That you’d choke on my name 

In your mouth, that it would leak

Poison down your hateful throat

But better to take that 

And hope you glean good from it 

A pearl out of the grit molding 

You into someone better

Someone who strives and is kind  

And leaves me and mine the fuck alone.
