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
