Amber Alert Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Amber alert

It says on a public bus:
"Amber Alert is over."

I laugh loud with anger,
Tears are painted red,
Suck blood from veins!

"Amber Alert? " Was declared!
"Amber Alert? " All weekdays!

Finally, is over!
Finally, is over!
Finally, is over!

I look at children,
Poor, little, innocent!

Were kidnapped? Stolen?
By a mother who gave birth?

What is wrong?
Have answer?

Those stinking lawyers?
Are blind? That woman?
That woman with scale?
Rotten fish, from head?

I am filled with questions,
Am searching for reasons,
Want someone to answer.

Mother and children,
Ran from the father?

The law of the fosters,
Such parents are B. S.
For the poor children!

Confused and silent,
Am ember and flame!
