One Man's Poison - Rupert Hine

One man’s nightmare is another man’s dream

One silent person in another man’s scheme

One man’s will can leave the rest with no control

The boy was always far too youn

The man was much too old

One man forgotten gives another one fame

One woman’s beauty means another lives in shame

One begs for food while the other counts her diamonds

One is never satisfied

The other blesses you in silence

One man’s hatred is another man’s faith

One man’s poison is another man’s cake

One thinks he knows it

But he’s never ever tried it

He won’t take a bite in public but he’ll eat it all in private

One careless error is another man’s fate

One man’s fall is another one’s break

One man’s treason is another’s escape

One piece of perfect timing

Means another’s just too late

One man gets richer from another fool’s addiction

One thinks it’s fact while the other knows it’s fiction

One blaze of final glory lets another die unknown

The one who plants the seed

Will never see the tree full grown

One man’s hatred is another man’s faith

One man’s poison is another man’s cake

One thinks he knows it

But he’s never ever tried it

He won’t take a bite in public but he’ll eat it all in private

One man’s wisdom means another can see

One proved guilty lets another go fee

One man’s Heaven is another man’s Hell

To one a mind quite empty

Is more use than one too full

One child of five is already full of lies

One can’t create but he’s keen to criticise

One man’s enemy is someone else’s friend

One act of madness brings a journey’s sudden end

One man’s pleasure is another man’s pain

One takes a picture he will never see again

One talks of love but he’s grown used to watching violence

One who’s lost is much too proud to ask for guidance

One man’s hatred is another man’s faith

One man’s poison is another man’s cake

One thinks he knows it

But he’s never ever tried it

He won’t take a bite in public but he’ll eat it all in private
