Unconscious Bias

Written: September 08, 2024 For Edward Ibeh Contest ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ He has blue eyes and lovely blond hair, Curls rose above his pink and pretty ware. Do not mention his background or affairs, With Africa by people who settled there. His father's family tree has extensive roots, Has Swedish, Cajun French, and British limbs. Grafts from Choctaw and Cherokee wood routes, That got some black stems from long-time whims. His mother comes from a Creole background, Descendants of a native African tribe. Parentage from France and Spain was found, And mingled with Bayou Indians and more vibe. Because intolerance and hatred confine, They also obstruct the expansive plain. Therefore, bigots are vindictive and supine, It is only clear to observe the gutter drain. There are no pleasant views of the spleen, There are no cloverfields or rolling greens. Restricted minds lack the ability to see, a breathtaking panorama of the scene. And biased men with pretentious pride, While in white, they become narrow-eyed. who despise Blacks, Jews, and Native side, They are completely sealed and closed inside.
