Poem by an African Kid

This poem was nominated poem of 2005 for the best poem, 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 yo! u 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??

Dear Surya,

very true. the person who turns into so many colors shld be the colored one & not someone who is black all the time.
this one, no wonder made its way to the best peom.
