Point of view

Perfection's gleam a star in the eye of the beholder

To another but a scar darkness growing colder

Point for the winning team, disaster to the loser

what's pornographic to a priest would seem an act of love to the seducer

Mud, quenching liquid for a thirsty man, gaging in the throat of another

w***e known to all the clan, to her child mother

There is a very old saying that "One man's meat is another man's poison" and this finely penned poem depicts the same meaning through different words. What is good for one person is not necessarily good for another and points of view differ on what is right and what is not. It all depends on the person/people involved and your excellent words of choice demonstrate that amiably. Thank you for sharing, dear poet...
