The funniest part is that he wrote the poem to try to convince America to begin imperialist ideals. Imagine him sending something like to the President now a days. (Even if it weren't Obama).Raskholnikov wrote:In his most controversial poem, written at the end of the 19th Century, British Imperial Poet Rudyard Kipling wrote a poem entitled "The White Man's Burden", whose first stanza in particular still stirs strong emotions today:
"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."
