Common Folk

Wonder how long it will take them to see I am a famous poet.
See it is nice to see what other poets are doing to help others.
If you aren't helping as a community then what are you doing?
The answer is nothing, put the pen down, and go be lazy elsewhere.

If you want proof, tombstone, “Say when.”
Or get to work, you all have wasted enough time.
The world is a joke, it is your job to aid in fixing it.
Based on a simple evaluation, Keyword: Slackers.

Now of course you all aren’t poets.
That was just a statement, figured you needed the reminder.
