  This poem was nominated by the 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
  And you calling me colored??
