I got the below Poem from someone I really do not know.  Tried to find the name of the young poet; but could not.  But just felt like sharing:

This poem was nominated for the best poem of 2005, written by an African kid...amazing thought! 

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 fella,
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?
