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.

I scroll through the options
Endless rows
And rows
And rows
Of smileys
And animals
And faces
And people
And things.
I scroll through the multicolored hearts
The laughing faces
I believe
That everything in the universe
Has an opposite but equal
Double.
A counteract
A balancing factor.
Like how 1 has -1
And peanut butter has jelly
Like that.
I think
Music
Is something
So beautiful
So simple
So sweet
And yet it carries so much power
Of the composer
The band
The conductor

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.
