The Sloth

Don't worry, it'll get done tomorrow
or by someone other than me.
I waste my days doing nothing.
Not blind-just refusing to see.

My fate and others are not a concern
though I may have great ability.
My laziness has formed a shadow
on my own responsibility.

I've been rewarded too long
for my lack of action.
Watching others do the work
has brought me great satisfaction.

I see no point to change.
No, I don't really care
that everyone gets paid the same
and that it's not really fair.

So just let me sit here
in this pointless existence.
For it's my choice that I follow
the path of least resistance.

See, I've even wrote these words,
and now I'm really tired.
If I decide not to finish,
I still will not be fired.
