Uplifting Black Love

Black men
You are your family's protection
          Keep your body up

Black men
You are your family's leader
          Keep your mind up

Black men
You are living examples
To future generations
          Keep your morals up

Black men
You are the strength of your family
          Keep your spirit up

Black men
You are not alone
          Lift your Black women up

Black families
Let's demonstrate
          Love, respect, and intellect

Brothas and sistas
Let's teach
          Education and proper values
                    Lift our community up

I don't know if I'm even qualified to comment on this as I am not a black man, but white.
However, I do think it is admirable that you care enough about your race to advocate doing the right thing where families are concerned.
Much the same could be said about all races, colors and creeds.
We are all God's children after all.
We all bleed red when cut, we all cry tears that are wet and salty, and we all should be held accountable for the well-being of our families and surrounding community.
Nicely penned, Keyon.
Kudos!

Thank you.  I did write  it with a focus on the black community.  But the same poem can be applied to every race.
Appreciate that you can see the other message in the poem.
Thank You very much.
