People are often sealed in the capsules and prisons of their ideological positions .
In contrast, metacognition is the ability to think about your own thinking. Critical thinkers should be able to analyse their thoughts and the the origins and evolution of their beliefs so that they can judge whether or not they’ve thought everything through in greater depth.
Very little of this self reflection and humility is demonstrated ,or even understood , with dramatic impact on humanity throughout our fragile world.

Subjective eyes
Such sainted views
On tainted news
Are very rarely rare
Those tumbling thieves
Of wild beliefs
Are roaming everywhere
Subjective eyes
Spread obscure lies
To catch the wandering fool
Who laps up words
Like rotten curds
Inside a broken spool
So please take care
With thoughts they share
To pause and think it through
Cornucopia 23A WORLD AT EASE
Dreaming of…
A world at ease, where love is the key,
Released by compassion, setting spirits free,
As we move to the rhythm of unity,
Let the melody flow in serenity,
In a world at ease, we'll find release,
Let love prevail, and may all conflicts cease.BlandLand
All across this once great land
The giant strides of soulless brands
Are building boxes in a row
No space to breathe no space to grow
Where are the trees
There is no space
Just rows of bricks
And lanes of lace
Construction tricks
Are now apace
Once farmed land - now Meadow Close
By Bluebell Grove and Honey Lane
No sense of all so clearly gross
No thought about the loss or pain
All built on profit margin think
No look at human want or need
Just let it seed and let it sink
Inside a snouted trough of greed
So councils all across the land
Pursue the art and crime of bland
No vision held, just targets set
The profit gross,the margin net.
