Sloth closes our eyes

making us drift away

away from hard work

admit it, we are its prey.

…..

What happens when we wake up?

a force holds us down

so we lie in bed just for some more time

there is no reason to frown.

…..

In a dreamy palace

which is just right for each one of us

we are reigning like kings and queens

one thing we are happy without, is fuss.

…..

So many calls from work

which we often ignore

most of us don’t know what trouble

stands at our door.

…..

Family and friends seem to be forgotten

‘how is that possible’ you may think

but all of us fall for this sin by mistake

this problem cannot be solved in a blink.

…..

The solution always depends on what you believe

it depends on your diligence to become better

sloth is convenient for us

it is a pleasure.

Now, go back to the beginning of this poem and read the message written in bold!
