This poem has been awarded in 2005 as the best poem at an international literature contest. It’s 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 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?

The Lion.
