A Poem

Nominated by UN as the best Poem of 2006
- Written by an African Kid
When I born, I black

When I grow up, I black

When I go in Sun, I black

When I scared, I black:

When I sick, I black

And when I die, I still black

And you white fellow:

When you born, you pink:

When you grow up, you white

When you go in sun, you red

When you cold, you blue:

When you scared, you yellow:

When you sick, you green

And when you die, you grey:

And you calling me colored??
