Easy Street

Quitting my job today, and going to live in a tent.
Hey, man, it isn't so bad, I get State Aid and pay 
no rent!
I get free medical care, free food and free meds,too.
In the USA, walk into any hospital ER and take full 
advantage, they take care of all, it's true!


Those fools that go to work each day, I do smirk 
as they walk by.
Such dummies feel sorry for me when my life is pie 
in the sky.
Not work for me~ I hustle drugs, on a bike I stole, 
I really make a fat bundle.
But I always play hopeless victim when panhandling, 
I am master of the hustle and boy, can I play humble!

Forgot to mention the money I make as a paid protestor, 
boy do I cash in!
We intend to crash businesses, ruin lives, because to us 
America is a sin.

One day, we will all be equally poor with a Marxist leader.
I just  cannot wait for that day to come.
After all, my tent needs an expensive, shiny free heater.
And no work for anyone, I say.
Just a land with freeloaders and cheaters.

Hugs Darlene xxxx-ooo Login to Reply Darlene De Beaulieu Date: 8/27/2020 11:43:00 AM Hello Panagiota, homeless people have lived on the streets for a long time. It is sad. Our beautiful parks are filled with tents to. It makes the parks ugly. Yes some of thes peole can work. An apartment costing 3,00 is ver steep. Christian should go futher and find the homless homs.

My own, who cares, opinion, that if people REALLY cared...they would have them sleep in their yards and use their house, OR take them to lunch. Feeling sorry leaves them there. This poem is about freeloaders. Those who can work but choose tent life. One has to be nuts to live in SF.. 3 room apts cost 3,000 a month. Friends and family should help the homeless. These are not children. There is an answer to their problem. Many Christian groups feed them Pangie xx. Thank you,

Robert L. Hinshaw Date: 8/26/2020 10:03:00 AM You've described the moochers and situation in cities across the country so accurately in this verse, Pangie. I fear it is going to get worse. Bob Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 8/27/2020 1:02:00 AM Moochers, right on. I think they have a surprise coming...the ones that are mentally ill need hospitalization. Thank you, Bob The left needs to open their backyards to them.If one cares..,cough it up..tears do nothing. Stop taxing working people to fund mooches, Get into action. Pangie xx Pangie xx

Arturo Michael Date: 8/26/2020 9:06:00 AM You've described the bum...and those things they do...What got them to that pitiful place is what worries me...something has infected their minds...I like how you placed yourself in the write... Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 8/26/2020 9:38:00 AM Bless you Arturo. We have some in our city. LA AND SF...loaded with them. Some choose that life.there is Stockton, where you get 600 a month just for being poor. In SF they _rinate on you if you do not give them enough money. Some need hospitalization in a mental units. It's legal to defecate on the streets in SF. You call the city and they pick it up? There are blocks of it in SF, if not miles of excreta.Thats CA, 2020 Needles litter the sidewalks in SF.its a problem..a big one...with psychological roots. Volunteers clean up tent cities and trash.
