Array ( [sid] => 49639 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => A Bum… [time] => 2004-05-29 18:49:30 [hometext] => Think'n about being a bum... I kinda admire bums for having the freedom to just go almost anywhere....but this looks at how they do want somewhere to live... [bodytext] => Found my way down the street
The sun was burn’n bright!
All this walking is getting me tired
I need a place to stay
To kick back and fall asleep
Hey and a couple of drinks too
‘cause I’m thirsty off the wall
Also some food would be nice
I haven’t eaten in days!
The days used to go by so fast
Now their so dull and sluggish
No cash to spend
I need a job
Some new clothes
A place to stay
Some food to grub on
Liquids to quench my thirst
Where did my life go?
It used to be so easy
Everything passed by as a dream
So quick and exciting
Now its so hard
I need to get on my feet and start off new
To become successful once again
Pick myself off of the ground
And conquer what needs to be done. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 202 [topic] => 43 [informant] => pyrofungus [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 7 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Are they truly free. Keep yourself so romantic. Do not ever lift your head out from beneath the comfort of your covers.

Very nice poem! Great imagery and it gives a deep insight in the life of those without shelter. It would match my 'Hobo's Song' very well, as you stated.
5 stars for you... I really did not understand why someone granted you only 2 stars for this...
