my answer is this poem:
A poem
By an African kid
(Nominated as the best poem in 2005)
When I born,
I black
When I grow up,
I black
When I go in the 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 the 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?
