Motives Poem by Walterrean Salley

Motives

Rating: ★5.0


Everybody has them.
And sometimes they are a part
Of secret agendas. [ambitions

Birds.
Why do they build a nest?
Because they have a motive.

And bears.
Why do they hibernate?
They have a motive.

Why do you get up each day?
You got it—motive.
We all have them.

There are good and bad motives.
Keep with the positive,
And add to the light.
