Laziness

Through the years you hunted me Your sword and spear pierced through me Leaving no mark of wound to show But in me many flow From which I couldn't flee. Flee! Flee!!, I plead myself Yet still I stood like a deaf Tis a battle I must fight Battle! Till the day is bright Enough of hidings like an elf. Get thee behind me! Thence I command thee Think I've heard enough of you Least of all my nephew. You've brought me nothing but misery. I forbid you till "Yom Kippur" For all, you've plundered and devoured But in me, hope sprout News they now speak about For in me, you are no more.
