Sense Sonnet - Acher

 The Invisible Black Child

Public education won't see

Black children in the U.S.A.

Too long, invisibility

Is this failed system's preferred way.

And teachers' unions be the prime

Hindrance to black children be seen

As worth in urban place and time

To be well taught as just routine.

Black children need more choices to

Have a better chance to be taught,

Be able to think and to do,

Be educated as each ought.

The invisible black child will

Rarely know good dreams to fulfill.
