And you call me coloured..? Written by an African child and nominated by The United Nations as the best Poem of 2006
When I was born, I was black When I grow up, I’m black When I stay out on the sun, I’m black When I’m scare, I’m black And when I die, I’m still black.
And you white people… When you were born, you were pink. When you grow up, you’re white. When you stay out on the sun, you are red. When you are cold, you’re blue. When you are scare, you are green. And when you die, you’re grey… AND YOU CALL ME COLOURED???
