Malingering Time Wasters

Procrastinate to irritate

Aggravate to agitate

Treading on thin ice

Are these malingering time wasters of life

 

Festering in ignorance

Frolicking in abstinence

Wading in their excrement are these malingering time wasters of life.

 

Arrogance in abundance

Subtlety null and void

Unwittingly self confident are these malingering time wasters of life

 

Belligerent in the face of peace

Weary to face their fears

Blasé about things that matter are these malingering time wasters of life

 

Malingering becomes

Mal'ignorance

Mal'ignorance becomes M'alone

Therefore the malingering time wasters shall forever this earth roam.

I wrote this after a friend said the word 'malingering' and I thought it had been a long time since I had heard it so therefore decided I had to write a poem to use the word.
