The Learned White Man Poem by Jeremiah Crane

The Learned White Man



The learned white man approached
the young brave
with determination and assurance in his cause.
'Young Savage.' he said
'You are a brave and mighty warrior
but unlearned and backwards in thought.
I will show you the way of the white man.
Intelligent and civil.'

'Ayiyiyiyay.' hollered the young brave,
his tribes bravest,
before burying his tomahawk
in the learned white man's brow.
