CAS Sonnet by Anne Patterson

I work for the Children’s Aid.
Got a diploma from a Kinder egg.
Have the IQ of a burned out post.
But, don’t you worry you will roast.
Our clients want your babies you see.
So screw you, and there you be!
I can do anything that I please.
Under the guise of children in need.
It’s been this way for over 100 years.
Lies, and myths, and untold tears.
Children going to pedophiles and thieves.
The guise of care with such great ease.
We’ve been running a dirty ship.
But don’t you give us any lip.
We have the powers of God.
Be you hate us or applaud.
If Marin gets oversight we are dead.
Perish the thoughts in your head.
Stealing children is for what we get paid.
60K a year, I’ve got it made!
