Self pity, a self defeat syndrome
That in no way enriches the home
Progress rises from concerted efforts
Injected into initiatives to strengthen fledgling forts.
Quit shirking obligations
Forward marches live beyond negations
Promoted by morbid minds
That conceal laziness behind blinkered blinds.
Services you consume don't come free
Perambulating in the vicinity of the treasure tree
Inviting you to climb a higher reality rung
When by dint of determination you sell your obligation bung.
Shedding tears of self pity
Everywhere you owe dues in the city
Slays your future
As you pander to the vulnerability vulture.
