“The Motivator”

A Tribute to the Unconquerable Les Brown ( A Poem)

We want the motivator!
He was never in doubt.
If there was ever a problem he will surely figure it out!
We want the motivator!
He aint no hack,
If you fall down real fast
be sure to fall on your back
because if you can look up you can get up
just like a bamboo tree
that spent years in the ground
but will sprout with big leaves.
We want the motivator
they said he was retarded,
but when we went to see him,
we saw a beautiful garden.
We want the motivator!
They call him Les Brown,
The greatest speaker there ever was
The baddest one from all around.
We want the motivator!
We thank you good sir,
You have helped transform this crumbling voice
into one of full girth.
We want the motivator!
Remember that it is possible
You’ve got to be hungry
and damn near unstoppable!

Thank you Les Brown!
