-With Eyes Wide Open

(Please Note: this poem is generalised and not about at any particular   individual)

It is so interesting how differently humans perceive each other
Our perceptions are often at complete opposite ends
I see someone to avoid and stay well away from
You see a potential friend 

You see a good, kind and caring person
I see a performance to persuade 
You see decent human qualities
I see an empty charade

You see honesty and truth
I see a deliberate ,deceptive twist
You see an admirable human
I see a narcissist 

It is so interesting how differently humans perceive each other!

That's why we get Donald Trump vs. Kamala Harris or Hilary Clinton. Different strokes for different folks.
