Best Motivators Poems


Premium Member Poetic Rejoice

Musical notes become antidotes
Teachers become motivators of youthful hope

Symphonies become beacons from negative yoke
Musical notes dancing with poetic spoke

Wheels in the mind start yearning and turning
With praise and hope and endearments true

Reciting dreams and reciting creative desires
Making his peers expose their joyous tears

Running to better places
Knowing glory is in the effort of all smiling faces

Now hear is a young man, with goals afloat
Ignored those who tried to sink his boat

Glory sings when you see kindness ring
Not when you see little ones pretend a sting

His peers where drowned with happiness tears
Youth has its wisdom as teachers smiled in the rear

Triumph and victory all held dear

Just the Daily Grind

A chill wind stung my cheeks
The sky was sullen gray,
I pulled my collar to my chin
And made my weary way.

Nothing too exciting then,
Just the daily grind.
Eight long hours of tedium
To stultify the mind.

Push a button, pack a box
There's targets to be hit,
Team leaders, motivators,
It's all a load of s##t.

Clocking in, clocking out
Until the weekend's here,
Then I'm off down to the pub,
To meet my good friend, beer.

Premium Member In Nodding

though rather late, I woke up
i might have thought I wasted time in nodding
but what a wonderful dream I had

the hoary woods crew
danced on my eyelids
sourced balsam scent and poppies
the floaters
fresh and cruel motivators

i limp along, with a beard so long, and cane
my knee’s bent, my pace slowing
but shadow’s spreading
as I part my lips, dandelion seeds sail
through gentle
waves of wind toward
generation gaps
the stories

i will tell of flagons, empty dragon’s breath
joy of open eyes
how sunlight revives the tenderness of life
implement the words of Solomon the wise

Premium Member Just An Ordinary Man

He was an ordinary man 
with an ordinary head
 sat on
his ordinary body.

On his right side he had,
one arm, one  leg.
On the other side
he had what was left
another arm and leg.

He had an ordinary face
with an ordinary smile.

His walk?
Now that
too was ordinary,
so was his talk.

There was nothing special about 
him and also nothing unusual.

Not invisible like cellophane
not vibrant like the flowers it holds.

He doesn't really sound like you does he?

You're not really ordinary are you?

Certainly you are one of a kind, unique!

Your parents told you so-
Your teachers certified it-
Authors guaranteed it-
Motivators ingrained it.

Then how did this man
slip through the cracks?

With everyone else being different.
With everyone else being unique.

How I ask you is it,
that with billions of people on Earth
all so different from one another...

How is it that only one man,
was so...
ordinary?

My Attempts To Deliver a Scripture

Not divine enough to deliver scriptures
Just a uncommon erector or life depicter
Unapoligetically painting pictures,
that expose the sinister.
Like these spiritually damaging supposed ministers
Preying physically upon our undeserving young brothers and sisters
Or politically inspired facade motivators
Attempting to build the highest encasing for elevators  
Those with unapparent inclinations to deceive the nation
I pray till incoherent no reservations relieve my brethren
Searching for something more absorbent to our children than playstation
Waiting for an understanding heaven sent blessings for the fallen
And my thought process at times transgressed
Hard fought this stress nights could not rest
Send deep breaths through chest have many regrets
light sleep distressed were blest through tests
I spill my mind on the canvas like blood from open arteries
To heal the blind go bloodless like twice chosen batteries
Ran races with madness the finish line held tragedies
Then escaped that sadness now I spread these realities.

Reality

I have been sleeping for a year and a half
It's like taking a gap year from reality
I have dreamt 
Dreamt of many things
I've seen and met people 
Had great times and some sad ones
Have seen the true friends and the fake ones
Have seen my motivators and the opposite ones

But my dreams have come to a finality 
It's time to wake up to Reality
With lessons learned this time
Lessons learned from the big break I took
Building myself and those around me
Things I should have done a longtime
With all said, I'm ready to take this challenge, Reality
Be a ride of a lifetime

Never Hate Your Haters

To hate your haters
                                  is never in your favor 
                                          just pray a prayer
                             and let your haters be your motivators 
                      
                                 never look up but above
                        An don't hate your haters, save it for love
                                   
                         so stay strong and never give up
                      to let the haters know enough is enough 
                                 your more than different
                                     
                                      and that makes you tough

Positive Steps

it seems like no matter where I go I always get a fight
no matter how nice I am people always try to get me down
I always seem to pull through and put a smile on my face
but people always try to turn it the other way into a frown

my mother always told me don't cry over spill milk in the end
because sometimes what has happened can never ever be changed
when people knew me in the past I will admit that I had a lot of faults
but I’m happy to stand here now because my life has now been rearranged 

so I salute all the persons that stood there and said that I wouldn't make it
I am glad I am strong so I could pull through because I almost believed
all my life people kept feeding me with negative things over and over again
now they can’t stop me again because I am successful and I feel relieved

they managed to destroy past relationships as also a lot of friendships
however I stood firm and focused so they couldn't damage my integrity
I wondered what I did to make people want to see me fail so much 
but I realize all the gossips and the lies they told made me into a celebrity

they never saw success headed my way I was told I would always fail 
I’m glad I wasn't stupid to listen and got up and decided I would try 
before I use to hide from them because I thought their words were true
now wherever I do see them in the streets I always make sure I say hi 

people remember you determine your future not the words of others 
so I say believe in yourself no matter what you will always have haters
but mommy always said you want good then your nose got to run 
so I don't let them demoralize me all I do is use them as my motivators

I promised myself I would never allow anyone to get the best of me 
I won’t allow them to get me upset even if they say something derogative
ill just continue to work until I reach my goals that I have set in my life 
and I won’t let anyone derail me from that, that’s my prerogative

Motivators

Professional motivators,
The bus conductors,
Always in command of "go forward"!

Aphorisms

Life is for the living,
Life is for the loving,
Love is for the giving,
We do live vicariously,
Don't take things too seriously,
Let's make extinction extinct,
How? Let's have a think!
Work and pray for Peace,
For plebs and critters we keep,
Let's preserve more habitats,
For wildlife and people chaps,
Exile brainwashing dictators,
Breed positive motivators,
Redirect capitalism,
Too much conflict over 'isms
Masks our real problems.
World makes too many munitions....
Create diverse solutions,
Too many mind pollutions,
Let's write some aphorisms,
Life is for the living, 
Life is for the loving.

Why Poets Are Poet

Poets are the first class citizens of the country,
They are the interpreters of the future through
The eyes of the gods that call them into service.
They are well respected and feared in the society;
Their words can endanger or even kill you.





Poets are not talkative like a lay man in the society.
Quietness is their friend, silence their golden spoon.
They are awake thinking while you sleep yourself out
You can't see them dressed to be addressed by the thugs in the society but, they are the eyes that people see through.




They are authoritative in nature, commanding millions to their imaginative eyes and mouths.
Poets are performances, artist, directors, creators,
Motivators, and doctors; doctors of love lines
Which breaks the walls of the heart's ribs.



You can't get poets in any act of controversy;
Unreason chicken soup that does not uplift the soul,
Like the musicians who goes about naked and stupid.
Poets are calm like the rabbit, beautiful like the roses.
Their words, many hurry to listen to and learn from.




They have no licence but they can drive without been
Arrested by those law enforcement agency.
They have no breast but they can breast feed a baby with words that are rare to find by mothers.
Poets are loving, imaginers, curators and educators.




Orancle they are; made to be in the midst of men!
gods they are; correcting the wrong of the society!
Who has seen a poet and did not turn to have another look of the gorgeous angel that just passed him.
Poets are legislatures and their pens, are the judiciary.




Poets are witches flying with their spirits so high.
You can see them here and there penetrating men' souls.
Love them the way they are if you love your life,
Dine with them and make your life perfect to behold.
Poets are lovable, eloquent and dream driving people.

Premium Member Need His Full Armour

If we are on the side of light,
the side of peace,
should we fight negativism?
Or ignore it and it's spread all around us,
becoming a barrier to peace.
THAT is the big question.
If there is wisdom, there should not be any war.
As long as a person is involved with warfare,
trying to defend or attack,
then his or her action is not sacred:
it is mundane, dualistic, a battle field situation.
Few people understand there are motivators other than on the surface.
Fewer still, should try to go to a place, without the full armour of God,
otherwise they will be ill equipped to understand, or have any chance of success.

Holiday Traveler

Holiday Traveler 

Millicent from Milwaukee Wisconsin was using the library computer trying to 
adjust her schedule to actually catch her flight home her collage is in ROME. 
Tommy Thompson is in Albuquerque trying to get back home to Texas, Nome. 
The notion of travel upsets most people and they swallow too much Dramamine 
in quantities not meant to be consumed they leave the shelter of the dome 
depending way too much on average Joes as such as cab and hack motivators 
in a non controlled zone using money as a buffer as they roam to assure the 
certainty of connecting to the airport dome. Sholom waved shalom at Kiev airport 
and he will wave shalom when he returns as Solomon. Cindy Breckinridge 
cooked a turkey at her home and stayed there with the turkey frozen partly in the 
oven cooked on one side so her husband could have some. Little Johnny apple 
seeded all the trees in TerryTown and walked another mile with that silly iron pot 
upon his top. Charlax rode his bus to kill the time he has his pass his November 
usage paid from GOD. Thanksgiving time come.

Random Main Theme Flames

1. Spoons and forks, knifes and chopsticks
were invented by the lazy retards
who don't want to walk to the sink and wash their hands.

2. In solitude the soul burns brighter
to find someone or something
in the darkness driving crazy,
worth burning for in the flames of passion.

3. My heaven is the garden of flames;
red flames, blue flames, yellow flames,
a colourful courtyard,
there the beast within is awake,
raining havoc from the inside,
running wild roaring aloud,
there the words flow like flooded river,
never enough to quench the fires,
there the passion sparks the spirits high,
burning alive and living again.
you are welcome to visit,
beware, it is my garden of flames,
you can't be picking the flowers.

4. If you can annoy enough people around you,
cut the bonds those that hold with just single threads,
they just slow you down from being among,
others won't stop you,
from being
the inspirers, motivators, role models
for the next generations to come.

Unborn Child

Unborn child,
wear your crown with pride,
let no man rid you off your worth.
Listen closely to your inner voice,
it holds off no lies nor truths, stay true.
Pave your own way, let not yourself go,
there are far more things to get rid of.
Birth your passions to life,
they will help steer you to greater heights.
Lean not on naysayers, but to closer to motivators.
Live for You, stand tall, 
Let no one taint your soul! 
Let true love in, neglect what doesn't move you,
Let it be You who you fight for the most.
For You, I'd do the impossible and leave you one day,
to do to your Own.
I love You!
