Assalamualaikum,

this is one of the most wonderful poem i've ever read. read it, it carries thousand of meanings as it shows how a small kid differentiates herself form whites.transform-------->jd sasterawan kejap

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 grey

And you calling me coloured?
