Best Bias Poems

I forgive the stars sleeping in nothingness,
             too afraid to embrace eclipsed spheres….. 

In the midst of sweltering gloaming,  
I ascend, obscured and tarnished,  
like a tainted trinket lost  
in...

Curls rose above his pink and pretty ware.

Religion in the public square is becoming an endangered species. - Mathew Staver

the lavender moon, in silhouettes of blue
paint my thoughts in melodies,
hues of grace and gentle peace, silent flow 
tulips, roses, lilies blowing in the wind,
who breaths her hope across the meadow,
laughing, dancing, singing...

      Unconscious bias can upset one's heart
if kin or friends might shun your written art-
     to look upon good poetry as play-
negating words that might uplift their day.

Her name is familiar,  most
Everyone knows her, well, not the
REAL Her:

Because I can't prove what
I know to be true, she gets
Away with 
Snubbing me in her contests

Many times I've thought about confronting her 
About it, but why bother when

It's a rather complicated experience to explain
on paper, but I shall make my best attempt.

Some years ago, there was a Presidential candidate.

Bias Oswell writes
Of an aching heart
Stinging from years
Of childhood when
He felt unwanted,
Alone, placed in
Foster homes and
Sometimes forgotten.

Writing about times
When he was lost
But now is here,
A talented young
Man so deserving
Of being recognized.

Write on,
Bias Oswell!...

by cold hearts
plague of our times
so off to the child remand home she goes

Justice

Justice
Colorblind love
Equality for all
Embrace mankind by character.
Treat others as you want to be treated.
Stand up for the rights of all men.
Speak up against bias.
Rise together!
Justice

My plight 
Daily I cry for no reason to purge my heart,
In the depth of wealth that my soul wailed.
Most in thoughts reason for the lost of my bread,
The significance of omotoyikogbon with a fulfilled heart.

No day went by that my face is not frown,

That Dunning-Kruger thing is real;
I’ve read about it once or twice,
And so my grasp, I clearly feel,
Of how it works is quite precise....
