Sloth is laziness of mind and
Body
Through which we neglect our duties
On account on the labor they require

Sloth is the deadliest of sins
or so my Grandma told me
But spying me in a book again,
Helpless! She couldn't scold me!
She sighs in her sweet doze.
Sunken into the sheets past noon,
The leaping sheep are her foes
And the cows that frolic the moon.
evading capture

ever so slowly

Birds are flappy, fish are flippy.
Lively creatures, they are both.
Hares are hoppy and they're zippy.
What gives with the sluggish sloth?
'Tis a tree sloth that I be,
Dwelling in a tree sloth's tree.
When a worker bee
Asks what's up with me,
I say, "Sloth shall set you free."
Ev'ry day wasted,
Sleep all day long,
Overwhelmed, anxious,
Slothful--it's wrong.
Father, forgive me;
Help me, I pray.
Calm me, and make me
Useful today.
Grandpa snored loud by the fire,
Dreaming of treats he’d admire.
He woke with a yawn,
Found the cookies all gone—
Seems the dog’s now our chief cookie buyer!
Submission to the sleeping lion
Seeing his shadow as a place to lie in
The darkness of eternal obscurity and sin
Not unveiling our bright star clothed in skin
Once a sloth loved to run races
He failed to take many paces
Always ran as fast as he could
But barely left where he stood
And always loses to the opponents he faces
In a world of rush-rush
you must hush-hush and just
slow down, take time to simply
breath-in and consider...
for answers that you seek
live life upside-down in trees.
I purposefully do nothing.
My house can wait.
Mess delights me.
I thrive on it.
I purposefully do not care.
Wandering aimlessly.
Taking nothing seriously.
Enjoying my slothfulness.
Sloth
Languid apathy - idle gifts
Hollow perfume of impotence
Hoards overstuffed bags of blessings
Walks by fallen stars - indolence

I’m not here, just to make up life’s numbers
I’m here, because I found a niche to chill
Through hustle and bustle, I can slumber
And whilst you count sheep, I’ll be snoring still
By
David Kavanagh
Saddness is a sloth
Moping around all day
Moving slowly through the trees
Sticking to whatever they see
Sadness is soundless
It does not speak
Scared and shy
No feeling at all
No colors reflect
Plain and boring
Form:
The grass blue butterfly looks a bit like a moth
Bet you missed her completely said the arrogant sloth
I admitted that I have never seen any like this.
One just blew by you, she’s the size of a penny, you crazy old Miss!
Much needs to be done,
The mind sees these,
Days are past gone,
The body is on the lees.
The mind’s door is opened,
There’s a stream of ideas,
What’s closed is reopened,
He wished he had the Midas.

Idle brain is the workshop of devil
Crookedness creating framing sin of sloth
Nasty nuisance turning most evil,
scattering, throwing up malicious froth.
You are so special to me
You are the sparkling sea
That shines triumphantly
You are as free as can be
You are so special to me
You are special to me
Special and free
Like the branches of the tree
I’m your sloth, climbing playfully
Postponed, are trials of today
for time tempts us to rather snore.
Stagnant, are the bucket lists,
'til death knocks on heaven's door.

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.

Do you fear productivity
and lay your sloth upon the Lord?
Is indolence your proclivity?
Satan surely loves your accord.
But Satan is the Devil.
He will not fill your larder.
In your apathy he’ll revel.
Wake up and try a little harder!
As a door is tied to its hinge
The lazy are tied to their lounge
When the diligent will prosper
Sure, the lazy ones will suffer

SLOTH has never been known to rock anyone's BOAT.
SLOTH is excessive selfishness, pure blooded LAZINESS.
SLOTH cares not about anyone's opinion or PROTEST.
SLOTH has no desire to become anything of NOTE.

I’m tricky, sometimes hard to recognize,
for I don’t rule ALL those with idle hands.
The Devil knows which ones are mine. His lies
provide them with a wealth of sinful plans.
