Poem by African Kid

When I born, I black

When I grow up, I black

When I go in sun, I black

When I scare, 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 scare, you yellow

When you sick, you green

When you die, you gray

And you calling me colored?
