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.
Author's Notes/Comments:
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.
