Like a storm in a teacup

      Like a storm in a teacup, You turned nothing 
      into something blown up, from a small thing.
       Everywhere's your ground to pick up a fight.
        You should know war is not won by might
          But by great strategy and clear planning
           not just by being pretty and enchanting.
             Stop just being a mere trouble maker.
               Rather, try being an active parttaker
                Who is ready for a positive change.
                  Even when done in ways strange. 
                   Your real worth still no way lost.
                     Nothing much will be the cost,
         Still, no day pass you don't doubt yourself.
          Yet you've all it takes, there on your shelf.
