A LIE IN OUR NATION

There is a lie in our nation
Called Parental Alienation
Where the horror of abuse
Is denied as a ruse
The truth is revealed
But the abuse is concealed
The distortion of reality
Is accepted by authority
The victims outcry
But the abuser has an alibi
The tables get turned
Like a witch to be burned
The abuser has rights
And the power and the might
To treat the children as chattel
As if they were cattle
A Protective Parent is jailed and reviled
While the villain rejoices alone with the child
Terror reigns supreme
Protection is now only a dream
A heartbroken parent and a child in despair
Must now count the days until the world becomes aware
