With mighty aplomb
You drop your vitreous 'view bomb'
With unorthodox precision
You squander my decision
You have one filter
And that is to kilter
The views that don't come from a stranger
The views that echo in your echo chamber
Fair pity to those who reach out with an olive branch
To give you another chance
A chance to move away from grief
A chance to turn over another leaf

I learnt about "Echo chamber' behaviour today and how it can apply to extremists. Some people have reached out and changed their views. Echo chambers exist on social media too.
