Lazy Minds
They seldom write a sentence
To lazy minds they cling
They copy, paste and forward but don't create a thing
They seldom shape a profile
To lazy minds they cling
They copy, ape and restage but don't create a thing
They seldom learn a lesson
To lazy minds they cling
They copy, raid and pirate but don't create a thing
They seldom craft a newness
To lazy minds they cling
They copy, clone and mimic but don't create a thing
They seldom have a mission
To lazy minds they cling
They copy, state and repeat but don't create a thing
They seldom coin a slogan
To lazy minds they cling
They copy, rob and bootleg but don't create a thing
