Vive les Vives Différences - Opinion On Opt_I_on Onion Sin Skin Options, Ways Weighed

Each reaches out with voice for choice, one's meat
may seem another's poison for a while
for victory from jaws of sure defeat
pure render soul response fo bitter trial

What one feels truth another terms deceit
can kil[l]ometer translate into [s]mile?
Time passes slow to some, to others fleet
flies, flees, to some seems modesty vain guile

Brass or fool's gold? Old chaff or golden wheat?
It's always difficult to reconcile
philosophies where time, place, fail to meet
or teachings vary: joy or bitter bile?

Change strange range spans, man plans, pans karmic day's
strangers dangers dare, weigh, fare opposing Ways
