Who is Colored??

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??

--I got it via mail last year :). It was claimed to be nominated by UN as the best poem of 2006, Written by an African Kid. Though the quality of the poem is really great I didn't find any solid proof on this has been choosen by UN. If at all this claim is true and you have any proof respond back here.
