Unconscious Bias

Beneath the surface where thoughts often stray, Lies a bias that colors our view each day. Invisible threads weave through the mind, Shaping perceptions we're blind to find. We see through lenses that age has stained, Distorting the world with judgments ingrained. The mirror reflects a skewed truth's face, A filtered reality, a hidden disgrace. History’s shadows linger, stark and clear, Biases persist though we claim to steer. Masks of fairness cloak the hidden guise, Concealing the biases that our heart denies. Turn the gaze inward, seek the inner light, Where biases drift in the depth of night. Only by facing what's buried inside, Can we untangle the truth that’s denied. Acknowledge the flaws that quietly remain, And let our minds break free from this silent chain. For true change begins when we recognize, The unconscious biases veiled from our eyes.
