Kipling

Though his poems and verse still read and living on
So many years since Kipling lived have gone
A fount of words he had the gift of song
And to the literary world he now belong.

And though all of his life Imperialism he glorified
Which drew literary criticism from literary critics worldwide
The writer and his writings they failed to separate
For Kipling as a writer a true great.

Since Kipling was honoured with the Nobel Prize
A lot of rain has fallen from the skies
That was in 1907 when he was forty two
A famed writer and world wide fame he knew.

Sixty six years in time has gone since Kipling passed away
And the babies back in thirty six are the aged of today
But his stories and his verses are still a source of joy
And his fame lives in his legacy and his works will never die.
