Poem By An African Man

POEM BY AN AFRICAN MAN ​

DEAR WHITE FELLOW, ​

COUPLE OF THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW​

WHEN I BORN, I BLACK ​

WHEN I GROW UP, I BLACK ​

WHEN I GO IN SUN, I BLACK ​

WHEN I COLD, 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 ​

WHEN YOU DIE, YOU GRAY. ​

AND YOU CALLING ME COLORED??​
