color of man
dear white brother,
i was born black
when i get in the sun, i'm black
when i'm cold, i'm black
when i'm sick, i'm black
when i die, i'm black
and meanwhile,your
when you were born, you were pink
when you grew up, you were white
when you get sun, you turn red
when your are cold, you are blue
when you feel fear, you're green
when you're sick, you're yellow
when you die, you will be gray
then which of us is a black man?
