Sloth

To those who only lie around all day and fail to do the many things you should; for those who take and take, yet never pay, a sloth are you who does the world no good. July 8, 2022 for Margarita Lillico's Sin of Sloth Poetry Contest

the world is full of them Andrea. Sooner or later they find out theat they have nothing and they blame everyone else for not having anything. So sad in thinking you can have without contributing. Always a handout.

A graveyard is filled with people who have eternity to just lie around doing nothing. No need to rush it! Enjoyed!

Ahh!! Reads like a good contender for the contest to me. I guess there is a purpose for the sloth. I need to look it up to see how it fits into the eco system. There are takers and givers in life now and I guess always have been. I don't know why some people are takers only. Thanks for the visits to my page. Sara
