Saddled and Strapped to Traps

Perceptions are usually fed by concepts.
What is envisioned seldom results,
In the actual reality of the subject perceived...
That one can accept to believe yet witnesses.

In fact,
It is like the presence of truth.
How often is truth denied as presented,
To be rejected when it clearly appears?

Many will disbelieve what they see,
To say...
'I hear what you are saying,
But that is not what I've been told.'

Those who have minds entrapped like that?
Should not entice one into an argument.
Minds saddled and strapped to traps like that...
Should be left alone!
