Best Laziness Poems


Get The Lead Out

You always think on everything bad,
feeling one mistake will cost all you have,
seeing all sides until it’s too late,
if not satisfied then you just wait,
while other men are playing the game,
half as good as you but winning all the same;
when you can seize it at any time,
overthinking things ain’t always wise.

Get the lead out, get the lead out,
get the lead out, get the lead out,
time’s running down, there’s no doubt,
get the lead out, get the lead out.
Get the lead out, get the lead out,
get the lead out, get the lead out,
time’s running down, go seize it now,
get the lead out, get the lead out.

You always think that it’s too much risk,
only a mad man would dare to do this,
you come up with plans for the right time,
only to see all of them pass you by,
Sometimes you must act fast, on the wing,
stop the damn scheming, just shut up and sing,
the world doesn’t wait for any man,
so take your best shot with what’s on hand.

Get the lead out, get the lead out,
get the lead out, get the lead out,
time’s running down, there’s no doubt,
get the lead out, get the lead out.
get the lead out, get the lead out,
get the lead out, get the lead out,
time’s running down, go seize it now,
get the lead out, get the lead out.

Play it for the business,
play it for the fun,
play it for the people
until it’s done.
Sing it for the future,
sing it for the now,
sing it so the people
can hear it loud.
Rock it for the pleasure,
rock it for the fame,
rock it so the whole world
will know your name.
Do it for the glory,
do it for the thrill,
do it now ’cause so many
never will.

Get the lead out, get the lead out,
get the lead out, get the lead out,
time’s running down, there’s no doubt,
get the lead out, get the lead out.
Get the lead out, get the lead out,
get the lead out, get the lead out,
time’s running down, go seize it now,
get the lead out, get the lead out.

recharging the battery

Laziness

It's hard to wake up 
someone who is pretending 
to be still asleep.


Laziness 101

Don’t
you hate
it when all 
the cutlery is
dirty and you’re
eyeing up that huge
decorative wooden fork 
that’s hanging on the wall?

Being In the Mind of a Savage

Being in the mind of a savage.

All I know is how to act ferociously.
Manipulating the minds of the weak, fearful, and the victims.
Beating them into submissive.
Emasculating the strongest, just to see him break.
Dismiss him of his role, and never to see his family again.

Being in the mind of a savage.

I destroy, divide, and conquer. 
tearing families apart.
Over yonder, as they scream,
begging to be saved
but nobody hears them.
Breaking the spirits of the koons, mannu, aunty, sambo, 
and the uncle toms, as they all have a common factor. 
They're all nostalgia.
The animal within me is untamed, uncontrollable, and inhumane.
I'm superior by nature, at least what I see.

Being in the mind of a savage.

What you call crimes are white privileges to me,
justification, rationalisation, & beliefs 
set me free each time.
All I know is to kill, steal, destroy, & reverse the cycle of genetics.
I changed their culture,
to fear, tough love, attitude, punishment, violence & a career. 
Sabotage the mind, break em' down, then bob the builder em'.
When you stop em' for believing in themselves,
oppression appears.

Being in the mind of a savage.

Other savages, keep em' isolated, uneducated, impoverished and oppressed. There's a few who escapes but we own them too.
We love to be entertained, as we mock, advertise, and stereotype em'. Less sensation and lacking sensitiveness 
in the terminal fibers, keeps me acting viciously.
Unintelligent, laziness, frightfulness, ignorance, backwardness, violent, inarticulate, sexual frustrated, hunger, inattentive, unable to control themselves, & in care of, are all the signs of a n****. 
Created a cultural matrix of positive 
and negative feelings for me, 
and each time, I justify my actions by logical reasoning with em'.
Ohhh, forgiving are they. Just to do it once more, and that once more became many more. 

Being in the mind of a savage.

If any shall become bold, intimidating or become a threat, we shall lynch you.
Propaganda, genocide, & economics are all profits for the savages.
Paternalism plays a major role as
terrorizing and restrain are easily justified.
Keep em' from achieving social equality 
as they become more bumptious on the streets.

Being in the mind of a savage.

Laziness

Sick, sedated, sloth

Feel the breeze of insect wings

Fatal stagnation


Lazy Minds

Lazy minds refuse to see
anything beyond the world of “Me”.

They don’t want to think
about the fact we’re on the brink.

They stay in their bubble about to burst
because knowledge is scary and for it they don’t thirst.

They’d rather be spoon-fed  “alternative facts”
since the truth requires brave acts.

And hate is more comfortable than love.
They are of the world, not from above.

Love requires effort to understand
beyond the abilities of ordinary man.

Palace of Laziness

We're the worthless one
The world has no place for us
Street is our business
Under bridges is our palace
Palace of laziness
Addressed and mocked by the privileged
We were name without ceremony
Wayward, beggars, lunatic, fool…
Yet they can do without us
We are less privileged but we’re not less important
The fortunate are fortune in chain
Newspapers bear witness of untold wealth
We are materially deformed not mentally deformed
We are agree to be poor for them to be rich 
The just shall judge the unjust

There is hope against hope
Our mouth, hand, brain are fertile
There is a hidden talent therein
We are judged by what they see
We worth more than their foresight
Amidst us talent has buttered our bread
Akon, African China, Wande Coal, are our testimonies
At all state we are vital
Poor state we protect their life at our expense
Our talents graze their occasion
 We are not worth-less
We are king in the palace of laziness yet busy to entertain 
We are beggars yet command your blessing
You need us more than your worth

Quicksand

Lazy feels like quicksand
that can't afford to move.
And everything it's pulling down
won't have a price to prove.

Height of Laziness

With lot of hardwork, I ate my meal~ Don't give anything for next few hours.

Just For Show

You're all sad
Did I get that right?
You're probably glad
you left the fight

Where's your loyalty?
Where's your direction?
What's your problem
you ditched inflection

How are you coping?
What's your case?
Where are you hurting
clenched in place

Bare your help
Bare your chase
Square your problems
people face

Who'r you kidding
Where'd you go
In your rut?
just for show

Premium Member Degrees of Laziness

Ladies and gentlemen 
I am sure there are,
more than ten degrees 
of laziness.
I’m just to lazy 
to write them.
Please feel free to add more
degrees of laziness 
in your comments below.

First-degree of laziness 
People who won’t 
do anything, 
if they can get 
someone to do it
for them.

Second-degree of laziness
Putting off anything,
that needs doing,
Because you don’t
feel like it.

Third-degree of laziness
Taking all the time 
in the world, to do, 
anything people 
ask you to do.

Fourth-degree of laziness
comes when 
you feel fine...
calling in sick.

Fifth-degree of laziness
Avoiding work of any kind,
At any time.

Sixth degree of laziness 
Placing your Fitbit 
on your dog,
to log your steps.

Seventh-degree of laziness
Refusing to learn
what you need to know.
Which includes 
reading instructions 
or asking for directions 
when lost.

Eighth-degree of laziness
Refusing to take part,
in any pleasing sexual act.
(When you don’t give a f**k!)
Not that you can’t 
Get it up!

Ninth-degree of laziness
When you refuse 
to do the chores
that need doing.
Like Grocery shopping,
Cooking dinner.
Walking the dog
or mowing the lawn.

Tenth degree of laziness 
When you are known,
for not returning things 
you have borrowed.

Laziness

Laziness is good.
It made monkey,
to grow long tail.
Now it eats free things,
lives in free houses,
up in free tree tops.

Dearther

Go Get Help!
Look no further!
Off you go!
Lot less dearther!

Premium Member Summer Laziness

The dolphins in the sea of Malibu
Love playing game of peek-a-boo
In summer, on the beach
As lazy as sucking leach
Watching fun, we lie on sand as bamboo
