On Perception

It’s grey

Everyone can notice that

But you insist it’s white

I clearly spot it’s black

As simple as that

But you refuse to change your mind

I climb and crawl

And shout

You tease and bother

And vow

And we compare and confabulate

Then we argue

Then we fight

No more balls

Or somehows

You keep firm

I keep fixed

There comes the battle

And then the war

And years go by

And then there comes the day

When a wise one turns up

To say

Neither was it

Grey.
