"COLOUR"
Wen I born,
I black;
Wen I grow up,
I black;
Wen I go in the sun,
I black;
Wen I scared,
I black;
Wen I sick,
I black;
& when I die,
I still black.
& Ü White fellows
Wen U born,
U pink
Wen U grow up,
U white
Wen U go in the sun,
U red
Wen U got cold,
U blue
Wen U scared,
U yellow
Wen U sick,
U green
Wen U die,
U grey
& U call me coloured?
So sad..!
