What Moves U?

Is it the belief that all you have to do
is get into action
to cause a reaction
so that some traction can stir mobility
and put into play?

Is it the belief that what you seek
is all in your reach
if you keep the faith to believe
that your train is coming
in the next station one day?

Why do you do what you do
when you do what you do
to who you do
whenever you do it with?

I wonder..
why we people
try and deny
that we have ulterior motives
when we do things.

It seems feasible to say
that on any given day
I’m doing what I want to do to please me

...just Jay...

and that just may
piss you off.

But Hey,
aren’t you doing the same too?
It may not be for me,
but you’re busy trying to please you.

I just think that we need to

...STOP…

take a minute to reflect on what moves us.
It’s time to be TRUE
and own up to what drives us.

Maybe it’s that house and the car,
or maybe you have had a childhood dream
that you would be the next star
singing under spotlights.

Maybe it’s the love of a lifetime…
and maybe it’s time to press

::PAUSE::

…and find a just cause
explaining the reason
and the scheme for it all.

It’s been said by wise men before me
that emphatically…
if you don’t know why you do something
you should be locked up
and committed for your own safety.
