Beautiful Poem written by an African Kid

When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in sun, 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 grey
And you calling me colored?????

In this marks-oriented curriculum, aren’t we just “mugging” things without much thought & developing splinter skills?? Isn’t his unforgiving world built by us, ar...

I was clueless !!! I started with getting a brand new 12.1 MP camera, then writing a rough script… went through many websites in order to learn how to use Sony Vegas n Windows Moviemaker & other softwares .. followed by hunt for Autistic child/person who fits in the script.. Through word of mouth.. my masi’s friend Mrs. Bina Modak volunteered to help me out.. She is a great lady indeed!!
