Explanation:

This poem by Reverend H.T. Johnson was a response to Rudyard Kipling's "The White Man's Burden: The United States and the Philippine Islands" in which he advocated for the colonization of these Islands. Several poems, like this by H.T. Johnson and even a "Black Man's Burden Association" were created in response to show the mistreatment of Brown people in the Philippines as an extension of the mistreatment of Black people in America and in other colonies demonstrating that imperialism is about bullying and the subjugation of native people.
