Compelling Motivation Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Everyday is an audition,
For those with gifts and committed.
With strict discipline inflicted,
The ones devoted can not sit.
And restricted they will never be.
No matter who presents attempts to prevent,
To them what has been given and heaven sent.

Everyday is an audition.
Everyday is a submission,
For those conditioned to produce.
And with minds that are seduced,
As if induced to accept...
An obsession to possess,
What for them remains confessed.

A compelling motivation,
Within the head has been fixed.
Everyday is a submission,
For those positioned with this condition.
And perfectly within them fits.

A compelling motivation,
Takes hold and manifests.
To possess as if obsessed,
Without question to where one is destined.
