He, being mistreated,
Is not content to attribute it
To wickedness alone,
But has learned by example
To frame it in terms of
The groups to which he
And the mistreater belong.
Thus is he ever ready
To assume this spirit of faction
Upon everyone in the other group,
And upon their every motive
Even when they had come in kindness.
And this, of course, is wickedness itself,
Which he counts not as sin but necessity,
On account of belonging to his own group,
Victim that it always is.
