{Written on Heuritstics and Biases of Human Mind}
We think without a second thought; blink, before we even ink;
Pack loads of Logic in time; emotion, in no time
With Life uncertain on the darker side
We fall at Catch 22 - to decide or to die without a chance
Agents with fuzzy patterns, hacked by intuitive matrices
Conforming to Ferrari speeds, association in a bird’s shot
Who are we?
We anchor to ancestors, plan for weak generations
Scared of present fears, sacred to thoughts on hindsight
We enact like angels, take blame as sinners
Survive by luck blind spotted, as frames tease our grey spots
Overall, we are just a joke that cannot wriggle a laugh,
We reduce to a joke, for everyone to poke.
