Colored

A black child's poem

When i born, i black
When i grow, i black
When i sick, i black
When i cold, i black
When i mad, i black
When i afraid, i black
When i die, i black

Now you American fellas..
When you born, you pink
When you grow, you white
When you sick, you green
When you cold, you blue
When you mad, you red
When you afraid, you yellow
When you die, you gray

"Now, you call me colored?"
