Rudyard Kipling(1865-1936)

It was a damn shame you died of ulcer back in 1936.

You should have taken better care, sought medical treatment in time.

You died too early. Missed a lot!

1937 - Eire declares independence. What a pity you didn't live to see it...

And the big year of 1947 - India's independence!

You should have lived to see it, the end of your world.

Every imperialist oppressor deserves that much,

to live long enough to see the end of their world built on injustice.
