You Called Me Coloured

I born, I blak. I grow up, I become blak. I see, I blak. In the sun, I blak. I scared, I blak. I sick, I blak. If I die, I will become blak. Rotten I blak. And You white fellow, you born, you pink. You grow up, you become white. You go in the sun, you red. You cold, you blue. You scared, you yellow. You sick, you green. When you die, you gray. And you called me coloured! Black is ebony not attificial. And you called me black. whites and Blacks come together, the voice of apathied is crying In the grave,calling on unity in diversity.
