black

When I am born, I am black
When I grow up, I am black
When I am ignorant, I am black
When I go out in the sun I am black
When I am cold I am black
When I am embarrassed I am black
When I am jaundiced I am black
When I am ill, I am black
When I die, I am black
When I decompose, I am black

BUT YOU

When you are born you are pink
When you grow up, you are white
When you are ignorant, you are green
When you go out in the sun, you are brown
When you are cold, you are blue
When you are embarrassed you are red
When you are jaundiced, you are yellow
When you are ill, you are off-colour
When you die, you are purple
When you decompose, you are black
And you have the nerve to call ME COLOURED!
