In Total Agreement
We live in our houses
Cocooned in our ways,
Agreeing
In the correctness of ourselves.
Sure we are
Right.
Seeing the world through our one point of view.
A one-person, one feeling perspective.
Not wishing to be confused by others perspectives. Hoping they will keep them to themselves.
Looking for validation
Of our right-ful-ness.
Adding proof to our own schemata
Discounting anything and everything
That does not fit.
Savagely ignoring anyone else’s opinions. Closing our minds, turning our backs.
Not wanting to be confused
Or conflicted
Especially not being flexible. That is for liberals, right?
Cocooned in our rightness, we congratulate ourself.
In total agreement
