Gunga Din marched into war
Agent among the occupiers
Wearing their uniform and adopting their speech
Serving water and adoration, showered in ridicule
Month after month, patient
When the moment whispered from a barrel
He sprung his trap, the cleverest of revenges
Dying to save his tormentor
Burrowing deep inside his conscious
Undead tormentor of dreams and quiet thoughts
-T. Weeks
