With Broken Promises I Tease (part four of the Seven Series)

Contributed by Rxqueen on Friday, 11th February 2005 @ 04:07:30 PM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry





Acedia

"Thou seest how sloth wastes the sluggish body, as water is corrupted unless it moves." -Ovid quotes

Filled with desire for ease
spitting every excuse in the book
I do whatever I please
never give anything a second look
laziness is a disease
and it my body over took
with broken promises I tease
good intentions put on a hook
opportunity never do I sieze
in my soul procrastintion does cook

This life laziness did oppress
and I make no effort for salvation
Instead I embrace my sluggishness




My sloth I shall never lose
it would take too much trying
And yes, I fail to use
the time untill my dieing

My punishment?
You can toss me in a snake pit
they will be doing all the work
when it really comes down to it



Sloth...

Oh yeah. Uh-huh. You said it! "laziness is a disease
and it my body over took" I have the worst time with that.
These are just great. Can't wait to see the next. Cheers!

These are really interesting
and intriguing as a series.
I like your phrases,
and the punishments something else, baby.

You are a she-devil!

Such a great poem. I loved the rhyme
scheme and I loved the line, "with broken
promises I tease" that was sooooooooooo
great. A wonderful series of poems indeed.
