Slash Our Pride....Lokesh Raj Arora

Don't we just live in such a dichotomy in this world,

 Where we slash our pride for a miniature dose of dopamine.

 You might say pride as ugly,

 I do agree, but isn't the friendship you broke for a minuscule dose of dopamine uglier.

 Oh! I wonder the world we live in,

 So simple yet so frustratingly complex;

 Then I glance over to the cat,

 She licks her paws clean

 Eats her daily dose of fish

 Goes into her one of many basks

 Which to you may seem sluggish,

 But for her it is nothing short of marvellous.

 Don't we all live with biases

 Some inherent, some not so much

 Look back, how does it benefit you.

 The time where you let go of your friend

 Because of a certain bias you had

 You now long for the same feeling of togetherness

 How did it make you whole?

 Oh! I wonder when I look back

 How stupid we might look with our biases

 These un-funny rules and regulations

 Beside the creatures we've lived for years and years

 Wouldn't they glance at us with bias

 Of dumbness that we cast on them.
