EVICTION!

I’M BEING EVICTED.
I’M INNOCENT.
Evicted for whatever reason,
the obvious one is greed.
Seniors at age 70(me 81), some older,
to be castigated by this snake of law
might be legal, but it’s immoral for sure.
Having lived where I am for decades
with my family (a widower now), it
isn’t just a place to stay, it’s my home
—an emotional investment.
Mayor Lee, Supervisors, you’ve entered
the elite group with the honorablyattached.
Very well then, act like it, do the honorable thing:
make the active evictions “null and void”
so I can live the rest of my life in peace.
—Diego De Leo
