The poem expressed how it's the white man's responsibility (burden) to civilize non-civilized/non-white people. The poem depicts these people (Natives, Cubans, Filipinos, Africans, etc) as "half devil and half child", which gives off the imagery for many that these people are not normal. Kipling believed that white men should be praised for this, and that's basically what the poem is about.
