In the shadows they lurk, the lazy ones,
Who refuse to build, and only seek to shun
The toil and sweat required to create
A life of worth, a destiny great.
They sit and watch as others strive
To build a home, a family, a thriving enterprise
But they refuse to join, to work and strive
And instead, they plot, they scheme, they criticize.
Their envy festers, like a poisonous weed
And they seek to bring down all who succeed
In building a life of value and purpose
They'd rather see destruction, than see others flourish.
They envy the strong, the brave, the bold
Who build a life, a future, a stronghold
And in their envy, they seek to destroy
All that is good, all that brings joy.
But we as a society, must not yield
To the lazy, the envious, the unyielding field
We must recognize their destructive intent
And fight them with all our might, till the end.
For we must build a world of hope and light
Where all can thrive, where all can take flight
And those who seek destruction and pain
Will be relegated to the shadows, once again.
