Loss Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

He was from a different culture. His child was just born. He wanted his wife home ASAP so he could feed her with what was right to them. The social worker was informed. According to this place the parents were considered dangerous. The newly born baby and their 12-Y-O daughter were separated from them and left with a woman who spoke another language. The teenager was interrogated to reveal that her father beats her. She cried and wanted her parents. And now, after a court hearing, the father is still barred from joining the family...thanks to a system that doesn’t understand the feelings and is a senseless machine.
