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.

How exciting.
I think my teachers are trying to kill me.
They assign lots of assignments
Worksheets, sometimes a quiz
Normally I wouldn't mind
But I'm not a math whiz.
I wanted to stay there forever
Under that tree with you.
I wanted to lie there
Live beneath the sky's blue.
I wanted to look at the constellations at night
And name the clouds' shapes in the daytime.
Irreplaceable
Is us
You and I
Together
Joking and laughing from things like the weather
To ghost cows and weird books and crazy ideas
To fanfictions and emails and drafts we'll never send.

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.
