Family Matters
As a society we are wrestling with the issues,
Of how best to Provide for our children.
Should the state play such a big part,
Should we set up charities that only focus on children,
When the whole family is dysfunctional,
Are criminal gangs and families suitable places to leave children,
How can communities become more family friendly.
If you are like me you are probably betwixt and between on the subject,
As while there is need for immediate protection for children,
Their mental future well-being of the family.
Being well-meaning is not enough,
When it comes to child welfare,
We also have the issue of where we put the children we take away from families.
So much to think about. But we need to get it right,
Like which Charity to give to,
And should we borrow money to give,
Or should we bypass that rout and help families we Know directly.
Otherwise?
