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.
