Nice touch. Thank you.
Unfortunately many high school or college students of today have not heard of Kipling. Nor do they appreciate his works.
Rappers might note the poem has a certain rhythm and flow. Not too bad for an old white British colonialist soldier of a time long past.
And yes, it still rings true today.

You would have to have the ability to read first. The local paper three days ago ran an article pointing out that over 500 HS seniors here would not get a diploma because they failed the 10th grade reading exam.
