Echoes

echoes bouncing off of bone simple, complex, good or bad don't consider, won't condone and speak aloud alone. paltry, partial, pundit, known whatever can be had no weaknesses; no mercy shown just shout aloud alone. a bully pulpit, guilded throne silly, stupid, sad, opinion from the glitter dome they scream aloud alone. intelligence is born alone of truth? Well, truth is sad echoes bouncing off of bone will cry aloud alone.

The truth "echoes" off the bones because people don't want to believe it, Wayne. Especially, words that come harshly from the "bully pulpit or guilded throne." But more often than not, those words are not true. Very thought-provoking poem! Love, Carolyn

We absorb only what we want to hear -- some of it is truth and some of it is lies. It's too bad we often can't differentiate and keep the echoes from "bouncing off of bone." Cool write, Wayne!
