"The White Man's Burden"
According to Kipling, what is the white man's burden?
Take up the White Man's burden
Send forth the best ye breed.
Go bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need.
To wait in heavy harness,
On fluttered folk and wild.
Your new-caught, sullen peoples,
Half-devil and half-child.
Take up the White Man's burden
In patience to abide
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple
An hundred times made plain
To seek another's profit
And work another's gain
Take up the White Man's burden-
And reap his old reward:
White men have the duty to serve others around
the world.
White men must send their best sons to work as
household servants.
White men must wait until they have worked hard
enough to improve other regions.
White men are devilish and childish, and these
qualities harm society.
