In the halls of power where justice should reside
The children's cries were lost swept aside
Youth services failed in their duty to protect
Leaving innocent souls vulnerable and wrecked
They turned a blind eye to the truth laid bare
Fearing the father's words the mother's despair
But behind the tears lies a sinister plot
Where innocence was lost and dreams forgot
Government of neglect hear their plea
For the justice denied for the misery
Youth services faltered in their sacred task
Leaving scars that linger an unanswered ask
They were meant to be guardians of the young and weak
But instead they turned away unable to speak
They sympathized with lies with false cries
Ignoring the truth veiled by deceitful skies
Now the children suffer in the aftermath
Of a system broken of a reckless path
But where is the accountability the remorse?
For the lives shattered without recourse
Government of neglect face your role
In the tragedy wrought in the toll
Youth services faltered in their sacred task
Leaving scars that linger an unanswered ask
Admissions of error ring hollow and cold
Without formal apologies the wounds unfold
But justice demands more than empty words
It requires action to right the unheard
So where do we go from here in the face of neglect?
How do we mend the broken the souls wrecked?
It starts with accountability with owning the wrongs
And taking steps forward where justice belongs
For the children deserve more than silence and shame
They deserve a future free from blame
So let us stand together in the fight for what's right
And demand justice be served in the daylight
Government of neglect heed the call
For the lives shattered for the downfall
Youth services faltered in their sacred task
But it's not too late to unmask
Government of neglect
