Sloth

When life is unacceptable we 

                     are strong in our pursuits and desires, 

There is no contention in our souls, 

                     we see our goals and work to meet them,

The power of tragedy is known

                     after life becomes acceptable,

For we simply abandon our dreams

                     believing that there is nothing more, 

How can it be that we have all this

                     potential and yet we fall victim

To demons of our invitation, 

                     vices that grow beyond our control,
So dangerous it is to accept
                     a self-defeating reality,
Content with being at the bottom,
                     with no desire for self-improvement,

A man is stuck on pipes or needles,
                      a casino is a woman's church,
Teenagers turn into drunks daily,
                      bankers put families on the street,
Civil servants turn politician,
                       teachers brainwash children at the school,
Bastard children are born every day,
                       how many of them will lose their way,

When one is lost with no intention
                       of being found one can't help but hate,
Negativity finds its way home,
                       all who come into proximity
Are affected by this dark-ass cloud,
                       it manifests itself into spite,
Hateful rumors about another,
                       talking down on a person's efforts,

Brother and sister love and protect
                       each other from such people out there,
They would kill your dreams and ambitions,
                       casting their dark cloud over your head,

To those with their hopes and dreams shattered,
                       including those content with their life,
Find new goals and ambitions to chase,
                       and you'll forget that dark cloud was there.
