Poem Title:
Poem
There are those who are truly kind. And there are those that are most unkind. But one thing I did find - in all of mankind, Is that there is at least ONE of every kind. So, which kind are you? Are you kind to only some of mankind …. ….and just kind of kind to most of mankind? Or are you inclined to be unkind - just because mankind [to you] has been unkind? Are you kind only to your kind? But then.. what is your kind??? Family? ….Country? …or is it Humankind? (You will find that kind of puts you in a bind!). Or perhaps you’re kind only to those that are kind….. ….and kind of unkind to those that are unkind. Does this kind of unkind not set a bad example to the rest of mankind… ….especially those that are unkind? Could it be that you be too kind to be unkind ….to even them that are unkind? After all, they that are unkind may be unkind just because they know no other kind. Still some are unkind just to be unkind. They get a thrill from being unkind …especially to those that are kind. They may even have opined that Life [to them] has been unkind. …so they cannot help being unkind. But here’s the strangest find: The worst kind of being kind is the blind’ kind. ‘Spoiling someone rotten’ becomes the greatest act of being unkind. The best kind of being unkind is the ‘mind’ kind. Being ‘cruel to be kind’ is the greatest act of being kind. So, in a world in which there are all kinds of every kind You can always choose to be very unkind or even extremely kind …. …sadly, it will make little difference to the fate of mankind. But ONE thing you can always be sure of, in any kind defined, …..is that you are totally one of a kind. (Thefragmentedgenius 81.5.8)
