Last week when I looked into your eyes
They were black
Yesterday they were white
Today they are red
What colour are they, really?!
“I am a kaleidoscope”
No, you are human
“Exactly!...but then
I must ask,
Which lens are you using?”

People change...but our perception of them also depends on the angle from which we look at them.
