POEM by a Child




This poem, written by an African child was nominated for the Best Poem of 2005.
Colour 

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 U White fellows;
U born, U pink;
U grow up, U white
U go in sun, U red;
U cold, U blue;
U scared, U yellow;
U sick, U green;
U die, U grey;  
And U call me colored
