 poem of the day July 22 

Everybody thought
tunnels were
only underground
Artificial subterranean 
man made passages
forged through 
mountains and rivers
for the good of humanity
Designed to ease the burdens
of the inhospitable 
Never once did
anyone think
tunnels could 
exist without
the physical walls 
that surround them
But here we are
in a brave new world 
navigating the wild currents 
of social media
Where the airwaves
The lifeways are
constantly being 
filled  with 
like minded ideas 
designed to amplify 
those ideas into
thick mental impregnable walls 
designed to keep us 
in tribes separated 
from each other
in tunnel visions
of our own making
