Analysis of On Behinds Wasting Time



Always heard are those criticizing,
What it is that others do.
As if this makes a difference,
To choices made that others choose.
Without a stopping to listen,
To hear heard comments made...
Of claims from them to say,
If they were in the same position...
Much better of a doing they can do to prove.

Believing they do it to be easy,
Criticizing and nothing else.
As an unknown shown,
Are their efforts to endeavor to validate.

Yet...
With sacrifices to make day in and out.
Without time to waste.
Doing what it takes critics critiquing,
Believe is easy.

Although...
Has more benefits than not.
For the ones who accomplish,
What it is they do done successfully.
Since...
As time goes by.
Criticisms to use as a tool,
Ultimately makes fools not of them.
But the ones who sit,
On behinds finding time to waste.
Sharing with others to validate,
The value of welcoming to invite...
A procrastinating their lives away to enjoy!

Night and day. Day and night.
24/7.
Aging.
And not to produce fine wine.
But sour grapes!
