2 unusual facts about Tears of the Prodigal Son


Tears of the Prodigal Son

The poem Tears of the Prodigal Son draws on the well-known biblical Parable of the Prodigal Son found in Luke 15:11-32, the basis of which forms a story on a father forgiving his son's spendthriftness and greed, after the son comes back home remorseful of his actions.

Every lament is prefaced by a convenient quote from the Gospel of Luke whence the plot itself is adopted from.
