Knowledge and wisdom
For the lazy ones are far
For they are too lazy to find them
And too lazy to even bother.

A job they may seek
But they avoid to work
They depend on others
To do the task for them.

They grumble and complain
Just at the thought of a task
To be assigned to them
For they hate any kind of work.

They are always too busy
In doing nothing
Always choose a task that is easy
For this makes them happy.

They cannot sacrifice
Even a little time
To make a job done
Needed in their work.

But are always on time
To go home from work
But are dragging their feet
When they go to work.

They are always on guard
Of the time set by the clock
And will not work until it is time
Even if they arrive a bit earlier for work.

They always complain of being too tired
For they are burdened by their job
Any easy task is always difficult
A difficult one is impossible to be done.

Oh, pitiful lazy ones
Enjoyment in work you will not find
You will continue to grumble
But to any knowledge shall not stumble.
