Even in our own behest 

The failure of recognition

Looking at life with a fisheye lens

The distortion may hide the opportunity

Because how we see things may always depend

maybe you’re tired

Maybe you’re down

Maybe you’re hurting

And it’s hard to get around

When we are weary

Feeling small

Where will we find the courage?

To again stand tall

There are times we will stumble

There are times we will certainly fall

the only thing that really matters

if we continue to get up after all

So where do we find the motivation?

in order to move forward in whose name shall we call?

The infant cannot walk

Until they learn how to crawl

The lack of purposeful activity

Idle hands and an idle mind

Leads to moral decay

Of the sinful kind

This proverb discussed by St. Thomas, Aquinas and Pope Gregory 

The seventh deadly sin of sloth 

A warning given

By both men of the cloth

The core idea I speak of

pragmatic agency must never rest

the struggle will continue

Even in our own behest
