POEM BY AN AFRICAN MAN

      DEAR WHITE FELLA,
      COUPLA 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??
