One Picture Reality Poem by Charles Tiffin Clegg

The world is very simple
there's only one way
I am right, you are wrong
That all there is to say
It's black or white
one picture is the truth
the other pictures are destroyed
one picture wields the sceptre
the others blow away
There is no common ground
one picture, mine's triumphant
yours is blown away

I will fight for truth
I will live, you'll be dead
My picture is my self
my very blood and guts
I'll spill yours and not you mine
My life will thrive that way
Your being is just forfeit
You are in the grave
And I am not the only one
who thinks this crazy way.

Certain ways of speaking **
help me stay ahead of you
when I'm ahead your crushed
my value and importance strut
as they travel though my brain
Superiority is my handle
You are worthy of contempt
So thats the simple picture
its right, just the simple truth
thats all there is my very stupid friend
Its the only way on earth
my one picture way

Some people cause confusion
suggesting there are many ways
to see the light of truth
They claim to know with emphasis
That there are many views
Many multiples of pictures
lots of different views
I let them go quite quickly,
they're on their merry way
They are the simple cowards,
Obvious chameleons of thought
Far too confusing for my mind
I get a little nervous though
But no, they can't be right
Believers in conceptions more than one
They need a stronger backbone
and their double vision might be cured.

** No one can argue with these phrases
Sprinkle them in your discussions
The others won't know what to say
You will dominate and win the day

Its like a lot of things
Its like most things
Its like everything else
Its common sense
It stands to reason that..
Oh come now
Its the other way around
Oh come now, really?
Oh come now, thats absurd
Everybody knows
Its only obvious
Everybody thinks
That's 'nutso'..
You are alone in saying that
Your thinking has never moved on
Most rational people say
You write other fiction too?
