The echo chamber
swallows up
and consumes
the naive & disconnected
Makes them feel alive-
popular and empowered
Pushes them farther and farther
from reality itself
for the echo chamber
feels loud
feels huge
even feels real
It is a la la land
of passionate strangers
and agent provocateurs
Wiser folks listening
to a larger world
a more complex
and complete world
a more honest world
and a more nuanced world
move on and away
to be an authentic voice...
leaving the echo chamber convinced
that echoes are all that matter.
