Spot The Loony? ( With James 1:22-25)

“Spot the loony?” I’ve no need of guidance book;
If I want to – in reflection I just look;
Like the window in the shop I pass each day
(High reflectance keeps our prying eyes at bay).

Like James noticed, as we comb our hair each day,
We’re forgetful – see the truth then walk away;
I start thinking “I fit in”, “I’m doing fine”,
Then reflectance of the window draws the line.

For I’m Creenglish – I’m from Echoland, you know;
Spot the loony? In reflectance truth can show,
For I notice signs behind me I can’t read –
They’re all backwards – mirror writing’s what I see.

Take a portrait – every subject thinks it’s bad;
They are used to morning mirror – it’s so sad –
Their reflection in the mirror is reversed,
There’s no printing in the bathroom – they’re immersed –

In a fiction – all the world around’s okay,
’Cept their image – it’s reversed for them each day;
So their portrait “Is not good of me this time”,
Spot the loony? In each photograph of mine.

How to fix it? Look at pictures in reverse –
Through the mirror, view each photo – myth’s dispersed;
If there’s others – you’ll look good, but you’ll now see
How the others to themselves appear – like me.

Spot the loony? We’re all loony-bins I’d say –
Xenophobic, culture-bound in every way;
Base distortion? We’re reversed in world that’s not;
Seven billion morning mirrors’ what we’ve got.
