Hobo

Why do you want me 
To shoulder your bags? 
That are made of filthy rags
Yet this seems to make 
You quite glad
Can’t transport your own stuff 
Enough is enough 
You are a vagrant incarcerate 
But the only thing you can 
Say is “I’m so sorry”
For what congesting decades
Of my life, even you realize 
Nothing about our history 
Has turn out to be genuine 
A wanderer of a forgotten era
Keeping in touch
Only to give me a rush 
Of the paraphernalia you can’t let go
You are a hobo
That does not comprehend 
The meaning of “hell no”
