This poem was nominated 4 best poem of 2005,
written by an African child:
When i born, i black.
When i grow up, i black. When i go in sun, i black.
When i get cold i black. When i scared, i black. When i sick, i black & when i die, i still black.
And u White fellas:
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,
But u call me colored . . . ;->
A person who surrenders when he''s WRONG, is HONEST. A
person who SURRENDERS when not SURE, is WISE.. A person who
surrenders even if he''s RIGHT, is a HUSBAND..!
