Echo Chamber

Echo Chamber

A minnow trap for
miniscule minds
struggling to see
past their own chin...

A whirlpool of 
hate and anger
raging within...

Right wing or left
Don't give fuel to this this thing! 
It knows no metamorphosis 
only hate, fear & death...
Destruction it brings

Facebook & Hatebook 
both the same thing 
a poison heinous creature
choose the pinchers
or the sting

Don't be a scuker 
for the echo chamber
it will draw you in
a mealstrom full
of fear and hate 
based on the colour 
of skin

Farage freaks
and left wing geeks
can't see the sun
for hate filled clouds... 

Your grandfather's
killed Nazis...
I hope you've made 
them proud!

I can understand why you quit Facebook and why most people should quit also (myself included)

Thanks for stopping by Jacques.

Much appreciated  - Syd

I no longer live in London my home town, or in the UK I don't recognise it anymore when I see it, sad how the world and social media has killed much that once was good, I never had Facebook, but just this evening I was scrolling through the Instagram haters who bring a sick glory to stealing stabbing and hurting others and your last lines say it all, why did our grandfathers seemingly waste their time and bravery for what is now a very ugly world. I'm not even a fan of wasaap. I saw a wonderful piece of art of Banksy with a thousand video cameras around a baby cot and it has always stuck with me, how true he sees this world. Thank you for sharing your poetry it's quite brilliant.

Straight to the point here and I agree. Apart from all that you can't believe most of what's posted online. And along comes AI... terrifying...It's all really scary. Great write Syd x

Hi Marion,

It is really scary how the masses can be subliminally manipulated through social media. AI will make things far worse I reckon.
