by Aly El Sahly

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 fella,
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 Gray..
And you calling me Colored?
