Motivation Is Only A Pill Away

A rush of motivation

          Surges

                Through my veins

                        And arteries



> MY BRAIN <




The heart squeezes relentless

        Armies of bimolecular

               Engineering



- Thousands of years of accumulated

technological and medical research –




                        To force a smile

                        Upon my jaded lips



Like a good Simpsons episode

Microscopically shrunk

                And condensed into a small pill

        Released into the nervous system

        Hundreds and thousands of

                        Tiny ships

        All scattered, drifting through me

                On a personal ‘incredible journey’



But I’m not the president

        And the fate of the world

                Does not rest in my hands



And the ship’s commander

        Isn’t even medically trained

                He has no credentials

                        He is Homer Simpson



I just needed

        Some

Motivation.

An excerpt from "The Southland Diaries (day 2)", written with the intention of posting it for the 'topic of the week' at creative-poems.com, which was 'motivation' that week, only I got expelled that same night. Oh well, PostPoems members get the 'exclusive' world premiere! :op

Motivation....a pill away...
If you say so...
I love this part: "- Thousands of years of accumulated
technological and medical research –
To force a smile
Upon my jaded lips". It is so you.

Exactly the same happened to you because many would misunderstand the positive message you convey here.
