Lest we forget
Lest we forget
As we try to cope with the grief and hurt
Adoption isn't what any of us 'chose'
the abduction of our babies occurred first.
Lest we forget
As our own truths unfold
That our babies were accounted for by the state
-for adoption, long before they were born.
Lest we forget
The young incubators-just used
And sent to a living hell
by a system who KNEW!
Lest we forget
As distressed, vulnerable and drugged
We had no idea of the crimes they'd commit
To steal our babies and run!
Lest we forget
We were mums like any other
Loving and ready to lay down our life for our childs
With the same rights to see our own flesh and blood.
Lest we forget
The love we've always felt
That our children are still missing
Displaced by the state to their own living hell.
Lest we forget
That this social experiment was all arranged
With us and our future generations the victims
Of adoptions devastating damage.
Lest we forget
The different 'treatment ' we got
As unmarried mothers
Guinea pigs for all- step right up!!
Lest we forget the regimes that they used
To separate us from our babies
As our legal and human rights were removed.
Lest we forget
The illegal 'consents' obtained
From abused and traumatised women
-as the state quickly changed their babies names.
Lest we forget
The thousands of grieving families
The broken finding the broken
So many lives destroyed.
Lest we forget
That it is not enough to say
"we just didn't know then, what we know now"
when in fact, it was planned that way.
Lest we forget
the strength these mothers need
To get up and face each day
with the horror of abuse and lies being seen.
Lest we forget
that these lost children are our blood.
We'll hang in through more pain and denial
as our children work out who they are.
Lest we forget
The porches lit at night, and the phones kept free.
And a lifetime of hope
-in case their children can
trust enough to make a call.
Lest we forget that we are survivors of trauma!
We can wake up and speak!
We can help end the slaughter!
Lest we forget
The insights we have gained,
of the cosmic damage of adoption
and the sanctity of the mother/child bond.
Lest we forget
The shattered lives of adoptions trauma
Lest we forget
The abduction of our babies occurred first.
