Apathy
Apathy
Stolen lives that didn't have to be
Calloused hearts that turn away to see
The helpless face from apathy.
CPS
Broken homes now shattered in distress
Littered baggage spirals in a mess
The greedy filthy CPS
Why their voiceless cry you and I refuse to see
Stolen lives are lost, such a cost for apathy
Cold as stone
faceless children dying all alone
Precious innocence they've never known
In a world that's cold as stone
Why their voiceless cry you and I refuse to see
Stolen lives are lost, such a cost for apathy
Apathy
Broken hearts that need to be set free
Protect preserve the rights of family
Oh turn away from apathy
Yeah, it may be a silly little song parody about apathy and the CPS theft of children for their monetary gain. But the families that suffer know it is not silly. In fact, their lives are a living hell because of our apathy.
Because of our indifference, the for-profit Child Protective Services are able to stalk families and destroy innocence. Because we chose to not get involved, they can manipulate, intimidate, lie and unexpectedly enter a home, using the war tool of surprise to break up the home and steal children for profit. Caseworkers are incentivized with quotas and bonuses to place young ones and babies in the system. These little children are shuffled from home to home, to the streets, to sex trafficking, prisons...and even an early grave.
Because of our apathy, these children and parents are force to carry the psychological baggage of fear, anger, depression,, desperation, loneliness, helplessness, hopelessness, abandonment, lost dreams, lost innocence and childhood, abuse, addiction suicide and death.
Because of our selfish indifference, mom and dad spend their life savings on the court system to save their babies, only to find the judges and lawyers are compromised and bought off.
Yeah, these families would not think of this as a silly little song parody. They long for their family and life back. They long for 'Yesterday'.
But when we turn away from apathy and actually give a shit, we can make a real difference in their lives. When we protect and defend the rights and freedoms of these families, we help to end theft, homelessness, loneliness, abandonment, fear, helplessness, depression, abuse, suicide and death. When we respond to their cry, we become their voice. Coming together with protection is not silly. Will you join me in being a friend to these hurting families that truly need us.
