A look into a biased view

A look into a biased view

A Poem by SlightlyOdd

Is it odd
Is it human nature
Or
Is it just me
Or 
Does the whole world
seem to be evolving
that's what those older than me say
that what we do today
Was the Sifi of yesterday
is it really possible
are we really that advanced 
Or
Are we simply trying to leavening some behind
Did you know
Someone can still get killed
for the color of his skin
for the saying something outrageous
Why
Does everyone take the biggest offense
at the smallest things
i don't understand people
So is it odd
That i find them confusing
our minds are so fragile
with delicate balances
chemical
or emotional 
They can be tipped so easily
either one
can bias a view
till it's all out of proportion
So
I wonder
is my view accurate at all
or are they like the of balance like the world
so easily tipped
Is my view accurate at all
A troubling question
a troubling question

I like this. It begs a question that most no one bothers to think about, because most people would take horrid offense, associating a simple question with accusations of indiscretion, dishonesty, and, well, being wrong in some way. People really are too fragile. This is more honest than many people I know would appreciate, but it's an excellent piece. Thank you.

The only suggestion is to correct the 10th line to "sci-fi". Good write. (:

its interesting how you use free verse, personally prefer a much more structured approach to writing poetry, never the less i like how you have put so much effort into conveying these points of views as they are in my opinion, reality.

if you would like to, it would be cool to have you as my critic :D (rated 80/100)

Lovely, well put. The problem with the world today is we take offence way too easily and we all are way to judgemental and prejudice.
