man?  kind?

   
mankind    
so blind    
except    
to own kind    
   
no    
not 'that' kind    
which would be kind    
to all kind    
of mankind    
   
own kind    
in the context    
of color    
in the broad kind    
   
own kind    
in the context    
of religion    
in the broadest kind    
   
own kind    
in the context    
of sect    
in the narrow kind    
   
own kind    
in the context    
of language    
in the narrower kind    
   
own kind    
in the context    
of class    
in the even narrower kind    
   
own kind    
in the context    
of political affiliation    
in the narrowest kind    
   
own kind    
in the context    
of sexual orientation    
in the narrowest possible kind    
   
now next time    
don't tell me that this    
species of animal    
the so called mankind    
is actually kind  
   
for i am sick    
of misnomers    
of 'that' kind.
