("Outside Looking In Merit Badge" - MB #40, 2011, original oil) Echo Chambers 'Everybody’s talkin’ at me I don’t hear a word they’re saying Only the echos of my mind….' And so it is, and so it goes. Everyone in their own worlds Safe and secure within the confines Of confirmation biases Building castles made of sand. Meanwhile the tide swells, Waves come as they always have, And always will, as everything we believe in And hold dear will be washed away. And still we dream Secure in the folds of our ignorance Of the rightness of our cause Whatever it may be. (6/2/24)

In interest, I put your poem through the syllable counter, and with a bit of tweaking you would have yourself a nice sonnet there, nice work . . .

Interesting.... I never give the type or "form" of poem much thought (if it's not an obvious rhyme or haiku), maybe I need to look into sonnets, but they sound like too much work! Thanks for the suggestion!
