LETHARGY
Sneaking, creeping crawling
Comes lethargy,
Too tired for this or it’s boring,
Comes lethargy,
I can’t be bothered, it’s not for me,
Comes lethargy,
It’s too cold to go out don’t you see,
Comes lethargy,
Day by day or even slower, by the hour
Comes lethargy,
Until life has no purpose or any meaning
Because of lethargy,
It slowly stops some folks from really living
This ailment, lethargy,
And before you know what’s happened to you
This lethargy
Has made you old before life is half through,
So avoid lethargy.
