An original is a creation motivated by desire. Any reproduction of an originals motivated be necessity. It is marvelous that we are the only species that creates gratuitous forms. To create is divine, to reproduce is human.

Emptiness
some are motivated
supposedly by his words
and wish to be nearer
some are motivated by
the world's events
and wish to know the
reasons behind
some are motivated
by the emptiness
in themselves
wondering whether
indeed it is emptiness there
or something more
something more

Just A Gimmick Used To Convince
If people were as territorially protective,
With a pride that motivated as is claimed...
It would be shown in their appearances.
With no mistaking of this visually.
It would be observed to be seen,
Like other games played.
And yet...
What is heard and unmistaken,
Is a desire to feed more greed.
A desire to be entertained socially.
And an increase in pay,
For everything done they do.
Even if that means picking up a broom,
To sweep both front and back...
With a keeping clean,
Those places where they live.
If people were as territorially protective,
With a pride that motivated as is claimed...
It would be shown in their appearances.
With no mistaking of this visually.
It would be observed to be seen.
But it isn't.
It's just a gimmick used to convince,
Minds already delusioned and deceived.

A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.
Motivation
Sometimes you cannot get motivated
in some things you do.
Your mind is filled with confusion
within certain things.
In your mind confusion rules supreme.
You need to lose yourself in something else,
relieve the stress you feel.
Coming back later
to certain things refreshed
and ready to start again.
This time more motivated.

I'm a Human Who Loves Doing
When I am motivated,
I do not hesitate and wait.
Or anticipate with patience,
To delay my fate.
I'm not one to fear mistakes made,
Knowing those I will make.
I'm not afraid to move away,
From a place made much too safe.
I was born to adventure.
With a nature to explore the unknown.
I'm a human who loves doing,
Not one who peeks out windows and doors.
I was born to adventure.
With a nature to explore the unknown.
I'm a human who loves doing,
Not one who peeks out windows and doors.
When I am motivated,
I do not hesitate and wait.
Or anticipate with patience,
To delay my fate.
I'm a human who loves doing,
Not one who peeks out windows and doors.
I'm not afraid to move away,
From a place made much too safe...
Or bores!
When I am motivated,
I do not hesitate and wait.
I'm a human who loves doing.
Or do I anticipate with patience,
To delay my fate.
I'm a human who loves doing...
And gotta move,
From that which bores.

One of the things that has always motivated me to write is the desire to get it out and look at it in an objective way, so that it doesn't cause me any serious pain by staying inside.

I am, first of all, a Christian and, secondly, a person with very very serious personal opinion, so I'm motivated by many many things and, certainly, not by the need or desire to satisfy other people's ideas of who I am.

Human existence is obviously distinguished from animal life by its qualified participation in creation. Within limits it breaks the forms of nature and creates new configurations of vitality. Its transcendence
over natural process offers it the opportunity of interfering with the established forms and unities of vitality as nature knows them.

I Did That From Scratch
Some create their best work,
By using their abilities to cut and paste.
And with fresh glue to apply to it too...
Motivates them to bragg about their talents.
When I hear someone say,
'I did that from scratch.'
And I believe their statements...
As I witness their fingers,
On their heads do that.
To create from 'nothing',
That one envisions from an inspiration...
Isn't easy to put together,
For pieces of it to fit.
And after what one completes...
Others become motivated,
To snip an idea.
As a qualifying aspect of their originality.
Signed and delived with no sweat equity attached.

Today, our actions must be motivated only by our intense desire to achieve a just and lasting peace. The compassion and charity of the American people should be reflected in this legislation, though sadly, they are silenced.

To Silence Those Minds In Doubt
Desire...
Always seems to pass the test of time.
Finding one without it,
And with a dream...
Is an unlikely observation.
Motivation, desire and initiative,
Are close teammates.
And a team without desire,
Seems less motivated.
And the initiative begins to procrastinate.
Desire...
Always seems to pass the test of time.
Just like a success achieved is a conditioning,
Kept believed...
In one's mind to feel all the time,
With a passion undescribed to define.
And desire simmers like embers burning.
It doesn't have to rage to display what is meant to be.
A desire started accomplishes.
A desire started rarely does not end to flicker out...
Before it blazes on the scene,
With produced results...
To silence those minds in doubt.

Motivated By a Theme
It is much easier to be motivated,
By a theme that is presented.
Than it is to create the theme,
To have others claim it as theirs...
To have invented.
But not a topic,
Have they dropped to feed.
Boxed in within limitation,
Are these seeking mentalities.
Hoping to scope on a scoop looped.

We are motivated by a keen desire for praise, and the better a man is the more he is inspired by glory. The very philosophers themselves, even in those books which they write in contempt of glory, inscribe their names.

Two Sides Of Liking A Man
some you find their every move
motivated by economic reasons
some you find them leaving behind
things for people to love them
for what they are, for no other reason
some you find their every move
motivated by reasons of racism
some you find them leaving behind
things for people to love them
without throwing the weight of
who they are,

Like You Better Dead
I can be as angry as I want to be
Just watch me burn(need to be motivated)
I think you're way too cold
Just watch and learn
I'll never sleep here anymore
My house is not my home
I like you beter dead
I'm better off alone
Destiny will you care me?
Trust will you age with me?
Hear me scream
As I fece tomorrow
Your vision may be in colour
But you look all pale
In these times we should be learning
But you'll always fail
I need to save myself before I drown
It took so long to see
The world your mind creates
It pushes me under

I am Creation A Creative Force/Agent of Existence
I am creation
A creation of
existence
an agent of existence
endowed with the power to create
Though I create I'm not God
Don't Let Creators fool you
into divisive worship of themselves
God exists as eternal existence
A loving force embracing
creators and creations
all unique forms
with love alike and equal
