Perception

Not everyone sees things the same
Peering out of different sets of eyes
What one depicts as truth and facts 
Another will view as deceit and lies

Remember perception is not reality 
And reality is not what you perceive 
Reality lies somewhere in the middle  
Between what we detect and believe 

Is the left eyes sight as the right eyes
Or do they compromise then agree
Do the eyes come to a conclusion 
Before the brains told what's to see

Who's to say Who's wrong or right 
To us this world is still a mystery
The truth we may never know 
Or is the truth there for us to see
