The Fate of All Great Men

Duke of Wellingdon (Arthur Wellesley) was a great man. He commanded the British armies in many campaigns and even rose to become the PM of Great Britain for two terms. There are several buildings, roads etc. across the world which are named after him. The Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital in Delhi was called Wellingdon Hospital until recently.

Like many other great men his tales too are immortalised. They find their mention in history books and paintings. They lend their names to roads, buildings and monuments and their legacy is kept alive by men who worship them. Men make statues to honour these great men and they stand at important crossings (like this one in Edinburgh, Scotland) as a reminder of their glorious histories. People feel inspired by the mere sight of these great men as they walk past them.

And the birds.....

The birds reach where nobody else does.

They find comfort in pooing on them.

And in pooing on them all day, without the fear of being interrupted.

Its the same fate, for each great man.
