Imagine

What can one Imagine?

Something that one never saw, or

Only the things that one ever saw

Can one one imagine something

That one never saw?

Won’t that be simply based on the things

That one saw but, maybe in an enhanced or strange way?

Is there an imagination unadulterated by the reality

Of one’s surroundings in particular

And of the world as a whole in general?

One wouldn’t Imagine a better world  

Had one didn’t live in a messy world 

One wouldn’t imagine a better life

Had one’s life been already perfect

Death kills one’s imagination, hence

People imagine a life after death

In a futile attempt to defeat death
