Black or White?
A poem that was nominated by UN as the best poem of 2006, 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 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
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 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 ?
I am amazed with the ability of kids knowledge towards their surroundings and society isn't it? Now, tell me which is which and so the kid does raise some points here. Erm, it'a a quiet weekend thought. I'm freaking bored. Thats it, got to go. Getting ready for pump room. Haha! =p i.e: jakun!
