As If They Found A Duck

The real problem in this world
Is not that people just don't get along
Or some people are just evil
Too much greed anger jealousy 
And all the negative emotions and traits

Sure they certainly do play a big role
In how people interact 
But most of them are the byproducts
Of underlying main issue

That is misunderstanding
Rationalized conclusions
Having faith in false premises
Based on each and everyone's bias
Resulting from their own life experiences

Such that upon seeing a black man
Or a white man 
Or Asian
Or any other ethnic group for that matter

All sorts of conclusions are drawn
Never given a clean slate 
Despite not knowing a single fact
Or history regarding said individual 

Not having shared one conversation
Presuming to know enough 
To disrespect
And expect their erroneous fantasy

Taken aback when faced 
With reality that is not 
Congruent to their expectations

As if they found a duck
In the chicken coup
