Pearls before swine

“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.”

– KJVMatthew 7:6.
Talking of values,
Yours, maybe mine...

In the days of the past
A man was,
What man did,
That's what,
Maggie Thatcher
Once said,
Or maybe it was
Meryl Streep

Today's man definition
Comes from the cover of Vouge
And you are
What you want to be,
Or better
What's you got.

That Ukrainian Soldier,
was only left
with a cigarette
in his mouth,
before death
he looked shit
Not monumental
silhouette

And not like somebody
you'd like to raise your child with...

Still, 
I bet he knew,
his only choice,
Comes with the mud of trenches,
And in the end
You've heard it in his voice

I wish I had that,
Clarity when it comes at the end
of what matters
but it sad
Until it comes the test 
You don't know,
If you fail
