Seven Deadly Sins - Sloth by so-aesthetic on DeviantArt

"Idle hands are the devil's playthings." Quote by _Benjamin Franklin With each thing and each person alienated, To the sad point that all things are hated in life; Sloth dwells in a void of despair they created, Their own existence is destroyed with their own knife. _____________________ July 4, 2022 Written for the contest, Sin of Sloth sponsor, Margarita Lillico Rhyming verified on RhymeZone (Quatrain Rhyme pattern) Syllables verified on HowManySyllables (12 per line)

You put a lot of thought into your poem on the sin of sloth, Constance. Very nicely done. You have worked all your life hard at the things you do so well. I admire you for that. Thanks for enjoying my entry in your contest. Ollyver was so dear to me.

Your words speak the truth Constance. We need to be responsible in life and make an effort in supporting ourselves and not looking for a hand out like so many do. God bless you
