Best poem of the year

By Andrews

Nominated by UN as the best Poem of 2007 -

Written by an African Kid

(in the writer's verbatim)

 

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??
