This poem, written by an African child, was nominated for the Best Poem of 2005
Colour
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 U white fellows
When U born U pink;
When U grow up U white;
When U go in sun U red;
When U cold U blue;
When U scared U yellow;
When U sick U green;
When U die U grey;
And U call me coloured.
