This poem was nominated by UN as the best poem of 2008, 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 gray



And you calling me COLORED?
