This poem by writer Rudyard Kipling (“The Jungle Book”) was published in 1899 under the impression of the U.S. conquest of the Philippines and other former Spanish colonies. The poem is considered one of the essential testimonies of colonialism, and it is debatable whether it criticizes or glorifies imperialism. It can be found here in English and German.
