A Thousand Perspectives

One man's dream,

Another man's nightmare.

Another man's nightmare,

A woman's wish.

A woman's wish,

A child's charade.

Same story,

Same dream,

Eight eyes with or without gleam.

Eight characters playing in the same story.

Wary of their actions,

They don't realise,

What they have triggered.

The victim is penalized,

But the culprit is crowned.

Crowned with attention,

All eyes on his stature,

All ears to his words,

All minds to his thoughts.

Who is the writer?

Who is the narrator?

Who is included in the play?

Or is the play included in everyone?

We all play a part,

Major or minor.

Always changing roles.

We always open a few doors,

We close the ones with no key holes.

The story is always active from the view of a thousand perspectives.
