Lazy

O lazy boy Glutton to sleeping Doze in reading When it comes to food Voracious to food Not think of future Think of things not O lazy boy Patriot to film Watch with his heart Call him hear not Until you touch his heart Film do kill brain With gradual process O lazy boy Elephant in playing Think of thing not Ask of what read a few hour Remember not O lazy boy

The spiritual and political import of this poem is awesome in it's clear, efficient elucidation of how indispensable self motivation is to liberty, and how we are responsible for the development, and deployment of our intellectual abilities.The way you depict the lazies, and their apathy to love is very poignant as well Afolabi. Television is the most viable weapon of mind control ever invented, and parried with artifical food and excessive stress is a disaster for most humans. Great poem J.A.B.

Great verse here, Afolabi! I think this boy is a mixture of laziness and thoughtlessness. All in all, you wrote a fantastic poem! Always, Laura
