The white man
he comes to us in peace
he brings money
The white man
he is a traitor, a backstabber
he kills our brothers
and rapes our wives
coaxing our fellow countrymen
to bring shame and steal us away
selling us like food
treating us worse
The white man
killing our helpless animals
selling their corpses
to our fellow countrymen
who bring shame
but the white man
there are no words to tell
the savagery of them
as they call us savages
Josh
White man's burden?
Or Black man's burden?
Are they really burdens?
It just matters how you see them.
Take up the white man's burden
Take up the black man's burden
Take up any man's burden
Just follow what you want to do
Taking up a man's burden is not a big thing
Follow the three I's: Intensity
Integrity
And Intelligence
The three I's will get you any where
Take up the white man's burden
Take up the black man's burden
Take up any man's burden
Michael
Slave Poem
Our suffering is another man's gain
We are expected to work like animals
yet we are treated worse
We are not properly fed
and are worked twice as long
We are looked at as things, not people
We are not our own person,but someone else's
We are trapped
We must find a way to break free
We are not possessions,
but people
We have to come together as one
to allow our children to grow up free
We will succeed
We have to
Not for ourselves, but for the children
Kellie
WMB response poem
The burden of the white
man
is not to judge the black
or man of any other race
whose culture you attack
The burden of the white man
is not to dominate
because they run things differently
is no cause to berate
The burden of the white man
is to reap what you have sown
because another's weaker
does not mean he you own
The burden of the white man
is to do the best you can
to accept the many differences
of every living man

I do all the work
and in return i get nothing
You, you sit there and watch
as i work and you observe
You get most of the pay
and i get a little on the way
Me all dirty
and you all clean
The real worker is me!
All of my friends
They work hard too
We carry the load and in return
All we can hope for
Is another day of life
and as we watch you recieve
All the gold and glory
You should feel very very sorry!
Jordan
WMB Response Poem
Here is what must be
done,
we must rid ourselves of these people,
the ones who are different,
we must make them like us,
The White Man.
This task is great and,
it will take much strength,
in all areas-physical and mental.
But the payoffs will be many,
and well worth the effort.
The rewards will be abundant
in many different areas and ways.
Financially sound is this idea ,
which will be shown through the new markets gained,
cheap labor found and more money made.
Politically the nation will be more promising.
With an increase in power military force and pride.
The religious aspects to be gained are numerous,
the spread of faith, people more educated and slavery ended to
start.
The rewards are not through yet.
The nation will be profitied through exploration also,
Who knows what else is out there?
Upon completion of this task we will know the now "unknowns".
Our nations ideas will be strengthened and spread as we,
civilize and teach the uncultured savages.
Our nation will survive and conquer all!
Jessica
It is wrong to have slaves.
Anybody torturing any race of a person should be put in jail.
Not one person should be treated poorly or taken from his home or
family.
He should not be sold,
they should not be slaved around
or
have to do anything they don't want to do.
Mathew
White verse Black
The White want the black
The black want to be freed
Can't they let it be
Crack the White mans wipe comes down
A man cries out
A girl cries to her dad
How come they could not let it be
They burden us
We burden them
We have started fighting with them
And them with us
So the wars come
The wars go
Now they see what is left
Destruction and despair
How come they could not let it be
They had to Know they had to see
Next time just let it be
