COLORED

"When I born,
I black.
When I grow up,
I black.
When I go in the sun,
I black.
When I scared,
I black.
When I sick,
I black.
and When I die,
I still black..

And you white people
When you born,
You Pink.
When you grow up,
You White.
When you go in the sun,
You Red.
When you cold,
You Blue.
When you scared,
You Yellow.
When you sick,
You Green.
And When you die,
You grey..

And you calling me colored?"
-Written by an African Kid which was nominated for Best Poem in 2005.

Isn't it amazing how a kid can stir the world with his words, armed only with his broken speech? We all should take the time out from our busy lives and ponder on thoughts like this..

It always starts and end with you.
