Money Speaks

Someone said her mother never wanted to get pregnant
Fear kept her from that state
The dread of child birth
The discomfort of carrying a baby
Or was it mental imbalance
As her father said
The early shock treatments she endured
Hoping to put her mind back together
Both perhaps
The imbalance causing an unfounded dread
Public agencies declaring her too irrational for approval
Resorting then to the secret world of private adoptions
Where no guidelines existed for proving worthiness
And only money spoke
