CHILD FOR SALE

 
Social think you got it now
It’s a shame they didn’t know
The ingredients you needed were not sold that long ago
 
No model for the role
No lesson for the job
Pick the easy option children making money on the rob
 
It’s a farce and it’s a fix
Your 'Me Time' and respite care
And contentment that the children need is neither here nor there
 
Certified to house the kids
Take a course in looking kind
Smile sweet but they are looking for something you’ll never find
 
No love in that TV
No love in playing cage
Now they’re crawling wait a few years then that dribble turns to rage
 
Feel confused in looking back
Foster ticking every box
Social services will back you; system careful as a fox
 
You pushed all the papers right
Filled the forms in; happy, sad
Allegations of severe neglect their parents were "so bad"
 
Bargain children for their lives
Forgot something on the way
Child spent entire foster craving care for what they had to say
 
Mother, Father is the name
Precious every child you shove
Pray to God that you don't suffer what they did without your love
