When families use to be families
The code of silence was a religious document preached from the pulpit
That was a serious witch hunt
Crimes in the home-swept under the rug
The parent was the thug
The Church turned it's back
Called it tact to cover it's tract
Looked the other way
Ignored-ignored-ignored
Baby boys and girl's virginity
The vicinity wherein their religious minister
Possessed their virtue
Treated it like fodder
He was just their biological Father
The way families use to be, ain't over yet
How soon we forget !!
Where does all the adult victims of domestic violence, sexual abuse
Come from, come from, come from
WHEN FAMILIES USE TO BE FAMILIES
