As You See It

Some say you're very arrogant,
 to you, no, you're just confident;
  others say you're hard-headed,
   you say, no, simply opinionated.


For some, you're so uncommitted,
 for you, no, merely open-minded;
  to others, you're plainly ignorant,
   to you, no, just being tolerant.


They call you a terrorist and murderer,
 but you say you are a freedom-fighter;
  these differences in points of view
   viewed, construed by them and you!
