Grook - Comfort To Death

Complacency, leisure and ease,
Sloth is a creeping disease.
To take your first breath,
Put comfort to death,
Only then, the day you may seize!

Congratulations on your spot in the contest, Luke. What worked for me was your "sloth is a creeping disease" line ... very original. Comfort is definitely a stigma that works against progress and success!
