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 gray


And you calling me colored?

    This part is totally BS. This poem is well over 40 years old as I've read this in a 60s Reader's Digest magazine that my dad has.

    Well I tried to google the author or the source of this poetry...

    But there is nothing out there...:no::no::no:

    Some places I saw it is the best poem of 2008...:confused::confused::confused:

    And as kosandpol said, yes it must be written a long ago...

    Anyway whoever wrote this, he or she has got great talent...But still is hidden somewhere...

    Thanks for sharing...Nice post...!!! :yes::yes::yes:
