Me colored!?

This poem was nominated by UN as the best poem of 2006, Written by an African Kid

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 fellow
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
And when you die, you
gray
And you calling me colored??
