The Lazy First Born

About a lazy firstborn, focusing on responsibility, growth, and the importance of setting a good example.

The Lazy Firstborn

The firstborn stood where others looked,

With dreams ahead and lessons unlearned.

A family watched, expecting light,

But laziness kept him out of sight.

While younger ones were busy each day,

He found many reasons to stay away.

“Tomorrow,” he said, “I’ll do my part,”

But tomorrow never seemed to start.

A firstborn carries a special place,

Not just a name, but a role to embrace.

Younger ones watch the things you do,

And often learn their ways from you.

Leadership is more than giving commands,

It comes from helping with willing hands.

It means being patient, strong, and kind,

And leaving laziness far behind.

You don't have to be perfect or wise,

You only need courage to arise.

Each new morning brings a chance to begin,

To work with purpose and choose to win.

So wake up, firstborn, and take your stand,

Build your future with your own hands.

Let your brothers and sisters proudly say,

“Our firstborn leads us in a better way.”

For being first is not a crown to wear,

It is a chance to show that you care.

With discipline, courage, and a willing heart,

A lazy firstborn can make a brand-new start.

I won't lie, being a first born is not easy, S/he is always the experiment child of the parents, society, so the children following, learns what works and what don't. Many aren't lazy in the sense, they might just be depressed and tired. That even a little rest or escape, will be termed as laziness or selfishness
