And you calling me colored?? (POEM) By an African Child

And you calling me colored?? (POEM) By an African Child

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 people.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 greenAnd when you die, you grey…
And you calling me colored??
Written by an African child and nominated by UN as the Best Poem of 2006.
