Mischief To Masterpiece

When life brings its mischief,
Turn it to a masterpiece.
Like the old saying,
“When life brings you lemons,
Make lemonade
 or add the lemons to,
Your sugary sweet Kool-Aid.”

Mischievous beings,
Are miserable creatures,
Who want to alter,
Your beautiful features.
Motivation is the key,
To magically make mischief,
To a marvelous masterpiece.

People may be mean!
So what?
Keep going,
With your sensible, special, self.
Turn that harmless hate
To food on your plate.

Disastrous deeds,
 Of devious dudes,
May want
 To make you rude.
Angst them,
With an awesomely,
Attractive attitude.

Mischief, mishaps, misuse-
Motivate, motivate and move on.
Keep yourself going ,
Like the Energizer bunny.
Just do it, like Nike!
Don’t let mean moods,
Mess up your psyche!

While they exhale their mischief,
You inhale the masterpiece.
They’ll be looking like,
An Indian and you’ll,
Be on top as the chief.
Yes indeed, the chief!
You’ll be banging your drum
With your own high totem pole,
With a teepee,
 That they’ll beg to clean.
You’ll live lavish,
Because you chose,
To keep a good habit.
They’ll still have a grimace.
You just crack a splendid smile.
You’ll be Chief Masterpiece,
Because you chose to live in peace,
And they’ll be Indian Mischief.

Awesome poem, with a very cool attitude toward the lemons of life.One in which I agree with, life is what you make of it. Your life is not necessary you, that means it can be changed. Smile. Sincerely, Love Moses
