"The White Man's Burden"

This poem is trying to tell about the Philipine people's feelings toward the US and their act in imperialism. Like the Africans and the british, the Philipines were taken advantage of. This poem describes how shallow imperialism can be. Today US imperialism still goes on. Instead of the Philipines, the US are trying to take over Afganistan, Iraq and Iran. The US is doing this because of oil.
