The best poem of 2006
Fri, Aug 08, 2008

This poem was nominated by UN as the best poem of 2006, Written by an
African Kid

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?

indika on Mon, Aug 11, 2008

It’s a pretty good expression of one’s feeling.

But the UN has made it ridiculous by selecting as the Best Poem of 2006 giving an impression that ‘Naduth Hamuduruwange Baduth Hamuduruwange’.
Madhawa on Mon, Aug 11, 2008

The picture itself very meaningful to the Poem, FANTASTIC!!! Forward this to all whites!

kumara23 on Mon, Aug 11, 2008

People are "coloured" by their thoughts, not by their skin colour.
So I think this poem is a very bias.

rayeez on Wed, Aug 13, 2008

I have heard this before. But very true & a good eye opener to all fellows who call themselves white & imagine that they are superior to blacks.

The westerners should be called MULTI COLOURED, ( not white )

Mahesh on Thu, Aug 14, 2008

It is one's mind and its thoughts that matter. The colour of your skin is immaterial If you are noble enough to think that it is the same blood that runs through all black brown white or yellow skin. You have to be respected or despised according to your deeds. Beauty is but skin deep but pureness of mind is eternal
Mallika on Fri, Aug 15, 2008

the expression reveals the truth but the thing is nobody is there to accept the truth
azrik on Fri, Aug 15, 2008

Wow. That's really best.

This is a very good message for people who believes colour bar. I think this is a very good lesson for white people who always neglect black people.
Anyway i would be very thankful to the creater of this nice idea.
