The American Man’s Burden
Take up the American Man’s burden –
Send forth the best ye breed –
Go bind your sons to exile
To serve your companies’ need;
To wait in heavy harness,
On fluttered folk and wild –
Your new-caught, sullen peoples,
Half-devil and half-child.
Take up the American 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 American Man’s burden –
The savage wars of peace –
Fill full the mouth of dollars
And bid the freedom cease;
And when your goal is nearest
The end for others sought,
Watch sloth and heathen Folly
Bring all your hopes to nought.
Take up the American Man’s burden –
No tawdry rule of kings
But toil of serf and sweeper –
The tale of common things.
The ports ye shall not enter,
The roads ye shall not tread,
Go mark them with your living,
And mark them with your dead.
Take up the American Man’s burden
And reap his old reward:
The blame of those ye better,
The hate of those ye guard
The cry of hosts ye humour
(Ah, slowly!) toward the light:
«Why brought he us from bondage,
Our loved Italian night?»
Take up the American Man’s burden –
Ye dare not stoop to less –
Nor call too loud on Freedom
To cloke your falsehood;
By all ye cry or whisper,
By all ye leave or do,
The silent, sullen peoples
Shall weigh your gods and you.
Take up the American Man’s burden –
Have done with childish days
The lightly proferred laurel,
The easy, ungrudged praise.
Comes now, to search your manhood
Through all the bloody years
Cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom,
The judgment of your slaves!
La poesia di Kipling , “il destino dell’uomo bianco” sottilmente (neanche tanto), modificata.
Spero che possiate apprezzarla. Se non vi piacesse, beh, sapete come LA penso su di voi, che ve lo dico a fare?
Per gli altri che non hanno compreso, cosa ne pensate ad essere “dall’altra” parte, dominati da un popolo di obesi ignoranti, governati da ricchi psicopatici magrissimi, tutti convinti di essere il “popolo migliore del mondo“.
Anche gli europei, con i loro millenni di storia, sono “popoli da convertire” alla “democrazia“.
Che effetto vi fa?
