B-L-A-C-K!

im black

and i spent most of my childhood

hating myself because im black

sure its the birth mark

but people still call me black

its been long since ive let go of this feeling

but to those who made others feel inferior of the skin colour

espacially the whites who are coloured

this one is for u..

Voted Best Poem in 2006 by the UN

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 grey
