A poem written by an African child (Malcolm X) and was nominated for the best poem of 2005.

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 fellows;

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;
when you die, you gray;
and you call me,
"COLOURED"
