Weighting the Barbarians

They're savage, with strange deities,
And merit death from our disease;
So those our own God cannot save,
We humbly slaughter and enslave.

They're simple, noble, frank and free
Of civilised hypocrisy;
We've much to learn, they've lots to teach,
Provided they don't over-reach.

Though quite impressive in their time,
They've lately turned to drugs and crime.
The lower orders of our race
Should look to them, and know their place.

Their complex tribal culture stays
In harmony with Nature's ways;
Alas, their fund of social health
Adds little to our conquered wealth.

Extinction's coming for us. How
Might we best make use of them now?
