Coloured POEM

Nominated by UN as the best Poem of 2006 - Written by an African Kid

When I was born, I am BLACK
When I grow up, I am BLACK
When I go to the Sun, I am BLACK
When I am scared, I am BLACK
When I am sick, I am BLACK
When I die, I am BLACK

But you white fella...
When you was born, you were PINK
When you grow up, you're WHITE
When you go to the Sun, you're RED
When you're scared, you're YELLOW
When you're cold, you're BLUE
When you're sick, you're GREEN
When you die, you're GREY
...and you're calling me COLORED?
