Best Sluggard Poems
I carry you when you can walk no more.
I lead you so all you have to do is follow.
I provide for you that you have need of nothing.
Yet; you lack faith in me...
I make your every path accessible with strength.
I guide you down every path you take.
I give you courage and grace enough for each day.
Yet; you fear what tomorrow may bring...
I protect you from harm.
I shield you with my love through every storm.
I stand always with you and never forsake you.
Yet; you still place trust in man and thyself...
" Go to the ant, thou sluggard! "
For he has faith in what he does not see;
he wavereth not in all that he doeth, he knows
that I will provide.
I love you more than man will ever know.
I am your harbor, you beacon, your light.
I turn you not away when you come at my call.
yet; you reach not for my outstretched hand...
I bore your sins and cast them into the sea of forgetfullness.
I covered you in my she dblood.
I gave myself for you and now you live in me and I in you.
Yet; you waver about with doubts as the wind upon the sea...
" Got to the ant, thou sluggard! "
For he has faith in what he does not see;
he wavereth not in all that he doeth, he knows
that I will provide!
You tell folks you’re as busy as a bee,
but I’ve been watching you. Here’s what I see:
you, sitting on the porch with book in hand
and dozing off. Is this the “work” you planned?
When I fly by your windows, I peek in.
Neglecting dirty dishes is a sin!
I’m shocked to see that messy, unmade bed!
You’re busy—like me? This is what you’ve said.
When you compare us two, I feel distressed.
Thus, in the name of fairness, I suggest
“I’m busy as a sloth” is apropos
for those like you. Let this be your motto!

Wake Up Thou Sluggard!
The Lord surely comes as a thief in the night;
truely now is the day and time to get it right.
By your Faith, seek Him while He may be found;
For perhaps in that Evil Day, you'll still be around
Pray that he hide you in the Shadow of His Wing
to protect you from That Beast; That Host of an Evil Thing!

Why expect a lot from A sluggard:
A trim look, not seeming haggard
And easy win of high regard?
You'd make much of A sluggard
A Great story from Great Harvard
Upon him wait with a staunch guard
And the often - praised by A Bard...
Then, you never knew A sluggard:
From Laziness to Prison Yard
After nice crimes testing, no Yard
Next lazy jailbreak and Graveyard.
The Sluggard

A lazy person only does
what to him is found pleasing.
Opportunities come and go
without any attempt at seizing.
* The Bible calls him a sluggard
who doesn’t think past today.
He makes a bed in poverty
thinking there’s no other way.
He often makes excuses
when he don’t get things done.
Blaming something, or someone
when he alone is the one.
Most times he feels entitled
often questioning, “Lord, why me?”
But when things don’t come easy
he’s content to take a knee.
Many are born into poverty without hope of escape;
and many are impoverished because they’re lazy. It’s become easier to depend on someone else to do the heavy lifting.

* 1 Timothy 5:8
But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
