Pastor Seth – Poems and Musings

Bias

We demonize one guy virtually every time.

We’re sure his intentions, self-serving or a crime.

We interpret his words in the vilest of ways.

No matter what he does it’s evil in our gaze.

 

The other guy we give the benefit of the doubt.

We’re sure his intentions are pure as a cub scout.

We interpret his words in the noblest of ways.

No matter what he does it’s virtue in our gaze.

 

We want folks to listen to what we have to say,

But bias is reeking a thousand miles away.

Bias poisons truth, credibility shot.

Bias is not helpful, it only stirs the pot.
