A poem tells a lot in a few words, isn't it? Will u elaborate the following poem?

yeah i've seen this...its a longer version though.

i found it:

The man said, "Colored people are not allowed here." The black man turned around and stood up. He then said: "Listen sir....when I was born I was BLACK, " "When I grew up I was BLACK, " "When I'm sick I'm BLACK, " "When I go in the sun I'm BLACK, " "When I'm cold I'm BLACK, " "When I die I'll be BLACK." "But you sir." "When you're born you're pink, " "When you grow up you're white, " "When you're sick, you're green, " "When you go in the sun you turn red, " "When you're cold you turn blue, " "And when you die you turn purple." "And you have the nerve to call me colored?" The black man then sat back down and the white man walked away.... Pass it on if you HATE racism

That's good- Sounds like something Langston Hughes would write. During the duration of the poem, the writer stays one constant color while the person the poem is addressed to has undergone many different colors. The writer is saying, "You call me colored? I think that label better fits you!"

So beautifully and succinctly put.It seems to me that another line could be added.

I will still be BLACK when dead and u will be

PALE.

The poem doesn't need any further elaboration

as the whole beauty will be lost.It speaks volumes.Brevity is not only the soul of wit but also serious thought.

Yes, your apsolutly right. I think the following poem is aimed to be an anti-racial statement. It's the kind of poem that should be read or said to a racist. Then after the racist just stands there with nothing to say, you can say MODED!!! Or PWNED.

this particular poem tells a single thing in many lines...i think...: Blacks are considered inferior to whites, because of their colour, though the whites dun hav any specific identity.

Good One KK

Great JOb..nice poem !

Well, this is almost good. Here, try one of mine...

*****

I’m free to be bitter

Twisting words

What I say

Ash is my whiteness

My legacy

Streetlight transaction

Works to me

Advantage is what’s taken

I’m free to be broke

Categorized

What I pay

Brown is my blackness

My heresy

nice try. ALOT of people have heard that. its funny the way you made it diffrtent but people still knew what it was.

It's not original and it's not a poem.

Please read the novel "Heart of Darkness" written by Conrad, Joseph & you will get the proper explanation.
