Rudyard Kipling - Mowgli`s Song Against PeopleRudyard Kipling - Mowgli`s Song Against People
Work rating: Low


I will let loose against you the fleet-footed vines— I will call in the Jungle to stamp out your lines!     The roofs shall fade before it,       The house-beams shall  fall;     And the Karela, the bitter Karela,       Shall cover it all! In the gates of these your councils my people shall sing. In the doors of these your garners the Bat-folk shall cling;     And the snake shall be your watchman,       By a hearthstone unswept;     For the Karela, the bitter Karela,       Shall fruit where ye slept! Ye shall not see my strikers; ye shall hear them and guess. By night, before the moon-rise, I will send for my cess,     And the wolf shall be your herdsman       By a landmark removed;     For the Karela, the bitter Karela,       Shall seed where ye loved! I will reap your fields before you at the hands of a host. Ye shall glean behind my reapers for the bread that is lost;     And the deer shall be your oxen       On a headland untilled;     For the Karela, the bitter Karela,       Shall leaf where ye build!       I have untied against you the club-footed vines— I have sent in the Jungle to swamp out your lines!     The trees—the trees are on you!       The house-beams shall fall;     And the Karela, the bitter Karela,       Shall cover you all!
