Default African Kid...

This poem was nominated for Best Poem of 2005, 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 sick, I Black, and
When I die, I still Black

And U White fella,
When u born, u pink
When u grow up, u white
When u go in sun, u red
When u cold, u blue
When u Scared, u yellow
When u sick, u green, and
When u die, u gray
And--------- -----



You calling me coloured ???

good observation by that kid. No wonder it was nominated for the Best Poems. this shows how much he is affected by the word 'coloured'?
By the way,did he win?
