find another place to live
Sam is improverished and alone
destitute, deprived, depressed,
an alley rat who does not garnish sympathy or empathy
his family turned him out thirty-six years ago
at fifteen he was told to “find another place to live”
his parents chased him out when he told them he was gay
his lifestyle went against their religious beliefs
their lack of compassion and spirituality killed his spirit
cruel callousness changed their loving son into a stranger
a lonely sad alley rat
