Высокомерие и презрение к варварам, недочеовекам суть этого стихотворения. Это про нас - полудьяволов, полудетей. Take up the White Man's burden

To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple,

- Fill full the mouth of Famine,
And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest

Watch sloth and heathen folly
Bring all your hope to nought.

The roads ye shall not tread,
