Answer and Explanation:
When I was born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go to 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 are born, your pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go into the sun, you're red
When you are cold, your blue
When you were scared, you yellow
When you sick, you're green
And when you die, you gray
And you calling me colored?
It is considered to be the best poem of 2006. This poem was nominate by the UN, as the best poem of 2006. It was written by an African kid who wrote in a very simple language. But the idea this poem is portraying is worth appreciating.
I like African literature because it portrays how they have been marginalized. And they are still facing these traumatic situations just because of their color. And this situation gave them a wide ground to write their stories in their own words. When we talk about African literature we are talking about a whole race that has been manipulated and being deadly treated. And it has left its scars on this race which cannot be undone. The damage is done and there is no way back to it. They have been tortured, not only physically, but mentally too.
So I would rather prefer to choose this poem because of the vast study it gives in its background.
