Bias can transform
An ordinary opinion
To one that favors in the defense of another.
Bias can change
How groups of people may feel
If it is directed towards or against them.
Bias is a weapon
Can be used with care
Can deal blows to identity
Can harm, hurt or share.
Posted in response to the challenge Bias.
I think
I might miss this.
I might miss your smile
And the way it feels when you laugh
And
How we could talk about anything.
I might miss
Those precious few minutes spent together
Every morning
The second I feel
Used or neglected
Abandoned or judged
Hated or pitied
Is the second I slip away.
Even if it's in my own head
And not real.
Even if you were trying to love me.
There's a moment in my mind
A calm before the storm
The part of the song where we all fly
Before plunging down to darkness.
There's a moment when I can feel my blood

You're absolutely right! Do you have ways of overcoming internal biases, if you ever notice them arising in yourself and affecting your opinions or actions?
Yes - sometimes I'll slow down and think of the situation at a neutral status, and rethink my actions from that point forward.
