We want equality; scorn racism Still attempt to solve using failed methods Making promises; providing safety nets Assuming we can administer change But there is a truth we must not overlook The black family must be restored Seventy percent of their births are Out of wedlock; no father means no family No reading to the children; no encouragement No incentives to do well Unintended consequences The antithesis of what should be real Only when the family concept Is accepted and practiced Will empowerment take place It is this and not government Ministers; not politicians Fathers; not social workers Observation of our failures Realization that we cannot help Through artificial methods Do not provide fish dinners But teach how to fish No one can do for others What they must do for themselves Remove the barriers Stop the handouts Allow the oppressed To grow and prosper on their own Their culture will improve Family units will become important Society will have been rewarded Stanski June 7, 2020 ^
