Sorry, but this poem was not written for an English audience as you imply. But it was written for an American audience after the Spanish American War with regard to the governing of the Philippines.
I regard that poem as very important for the understanding of the era of European imperialism. I appreciate your video - but could you tell me, please, why you chose that song as background music? I find it quite disturbing (artistically). wouldn't some old English march be fitting better?
wtf is this shit? give us the fucking burden poem.

It's a matter of noblesse oblige - these Third Worlders must be saved from themselves.

How can 2 million blacks get into Washington, D.C.
in sub zero temps in 1 day when 200,000 couldn't get out
of New Orleans at 85 degrees with four days notice?

The song is utterly disturbing.

@firebreathone2 agree!!
I was hoping for a recitation, then you get this silly music...
as Wilhelm Busch remarked:
Musik wir störend oft empfunden / weil sie stets mit Geräusch verbunden"
