Sloth

'Get a job,' they tell me.
'Go outside, get a life.'
Why should I listen to them?
I'm perfectly happy just lying here,
Sleeping my life away.
Reading books and watching TV,
Playing video games.
It's all so much simpler here,
Not having to put up with the world.
The every day bustle of life,
And the stress of a project due
Yesterday.
It's so much more pleasant here.
Drifting through life
In this fog of Sloth.
