Gunga Din
Rudyard Kipling's poem of an Indian man is all inspiring to me. The English were busy trying to control land as is the state of the world today, even if by subtle ways, and Gunga Din did his job. He was the "little guy". The seemingly insignificant barefoot helping resident who was actually like the best secretary a man could have.
He did without for the cause. He brought supplies for the cause. He brought water. He was reliable, devoted and true. Without the efforts of him, the battle could not be won. His clothes were tattered, he wore no stripes or medals.
He took a bullet and died wishing well to the men he served.
Yup,
Gunga Din rocks the planet and all the people like him now.
