These poems have touched my "heart" and mean so much to me "within" my life.
I start with........
Stolen Lives
"The parent is too slow and needless to say,
obviously cant cope" the professionals say.
"With a low IQ there's nothing more we can do
but to consider the children and take them away"
Ignoring the damage wrought by this heartless act
and claiming a child's future is what they're aiming at,
they tear a child from their mothers arms,
breaking hearts without any qualms
Under a cloak of false pride and shame
they fault families, thus causing unspeakable pain
Social justice has lost its way
No thought now for the child once happy at play
Snatched children dazed and shocked look all around
but mum and dad are nowhere to be found?
Their eyes filled with tears,
feeling frightened, alone, are
carried off by strangers they've never known
A far cry from "Britannia rules the waves"
when decent families were given due honour and praise
Then social justice ruled the day
Now the public have no say
A conspiracy of silence overtakes the past
