Wrapped Refrain

A chapter in the book Abuse

Toxic Haven

by Bucketlist



Hiding a ruse in foster care
System abuse that's less aware
Care full of emotional wealth
Can help a child grow up in health
But some give little love, misuse
Money paid for care, hides a ruse

Good foster care, made to protect
Covert abuse we don't suspect
Many victims, finally saved
Others are system pawns, afraid
In a toxic, deranged affair
Still seek love in good foster care

Financial aid for foster care
Often becomes a child's nightmare
Trouble to get homes placing them
System overload in mayhem
So abusers lie, keep them afraid
Their main goal is financial aid
