Imagination sees a pointing gun

What I  saw as glowing evening sun
Turns out to be a neon light  lit up too soon
And our imagination sees a  savage gun
Where there is  nothing  but a fine toothed  comb

The mind is waiting with a bunch of signs
To fit perceptions into  ready truths
Though I’ve not seen  a  gun nor made designs
Nor used a  nit comb since I was a youth

What we see is what will interact
With what we want,we love, or what we hate
From all the memories that are well packed
Into minds with  independent states

And so we quarrel , murder, go to war
With those who  look from different  coloured doors
