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.
Her
With long brown hair
Golden when caught by the sun
A smile that goes miles
That lights up the stage when she performs
Him
With curly black hair
Glasses
Brown eyes
Hard to reach
And then there were two,
Sitting on a bench by the bus stop.
Waiting.
Watching.
Two kids - teenagers - then young adults.
On different sides of the same story.
One representing tails
A bracelet.
The bracelet.
There's a difference.
For me, my bracelet is the bracelet.
The bracelet of my dreams.
Of my story.
Of my past.
Of my life.

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.
