Motivation
by
Sekhem Psikor Strecker
As I sit here in my long exams
I stare out the window dreaming
Of some past vision that I demand
With my conscience still a-streaming
And I have no force; no driving will
For my life is in sedation
So please just understand that I
Am without motivation
And like a fallen tree I lie
With people standing; striding
Across the bark and in my eye
I find it not enticing
And I have no fate nor destiny
This needs no deliberation
For it's fine for me until you see
I am without motivation
A little scribble here and scribble there
I find no time to savour
So I sit and wait for time to end
I'm feeling kinda sour
Coz I have no life or mission to save
Myself or the worlds nations
It's been like this for one thousand years
I'm without motivation
I seem as though I have my stuff
All organised and worked-out
But really I'm a tangled mess
Of ink, paint and white-out
And so when I die; my eulogy read
I'll sleep peacefully and stationed
On the church's altar where my loved ones said
I had no motivation
