Way Too Much Power

Way too much power stacked up on the shelf,almost as much power as the Lord God himself, No room for human error,no room for mistake,with a long list of families and hearts they did break, Who's was the decision? who deemed it correct? it's a fine line between nurture and neglect, Misinterpretation is just no excuse,is it child protection? or maybe child abuse.As you gather the details each in its own place,have you got all the facts right to build up your case? Was it normal chastising or harsh push and shove? as you remove these kids from the families they love, And the homes that are broken get tossed on the pile,as the kid with no mummy forgets how to smile, And the powers that be sit deciding our fate,and there's no words of wisdom that can compensate, So where lies the answer to whom love deprives,given way too much power to play God with kids lives.
