Colour

This is a poem of an African boy that, they say, was nominated for best poem sometime in 2005. [Correct me if I'm wrong.]


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 fella,

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 Gray.

And you calling me colored?



Nice one.
