An infinitive almost always begins with “to” and is followed
by the basic form of the verb. It is usually in this form:
To + Verb = Infinitive
An infinitive is NOT a verb, so s, es, ed, or ing should not
be added to the end. Infinitives can be used as nouns, adjectives or adverbs.
According to the pattern of what an infinitive should be, “to cook” is the
infinitive of this sentence and it functions as a noun.
Johnson uses sarcasm in this poem as he expresses the opposite of what he means. When he says "pile on the Black Man's Burden", and gives examples of how people can make black men more miserable than they already are ("his wail with laughter drown"), he is using sarcasm. He clearly does not want people to pile on this burden and make black men's lives harder, but he is saying that people should do it to show them how ridiculous it sounds and to point out that people are already doing that.
