Hobosexual

You use sex to live as a means to pay
Attention not to mention evade escape 
Any responsibility in bills mortgage or rent 
Pretending to love like you are heaven sent

You’re good at what you do making lovers a fool
Only thing you own between your legs a tool
Like butter your words melt like moth to flame
You sleep earn your keep playing mind games

Often attractive at least in their ebony eyes
But what if wisdom strikes they denim decide
To face teal truth look within them within you
find what is worthy of being used blue truth

You say you watch the kids instead of work
Not to say homemaker’s job isn’t God’s work 
But you’re not an asset rather a dependent 
You’re healthy not wealthy without even tent

Too lazy to work you don’t even panhandle 
The nerve to be a jerk feelings manhandled 
You’re like a lime leech sucking money green
And resources you eat don’t provide anything 

You must grow inside pull your own weight 
Have you ever tried to be an adult any day
Mental health issues are no excuse to fake
If I see you others do too make honest way

Karen, this is quite a critique of a certain type. I hope you haven't seen too many like this. I know we all have certain characteristics of laziness at times and I'm thinking all men should think about this carefully. Smiles!!!

What an interesting topic to write a poem on, Karen. I really like it. One is better off kicking a "hobosexual" out, but it won't be easy, lol.

Hobosexual. The dictionary does not know it exists. Unfortunately they do. Easy life, woman labour for food and childbirth. Many leeches around.

Good poem Karen. These people are everywhere. They have a life that requires very little of them and they take for their own pleasure.

FAV, from Pangie, I have see these creeps in the state I left! The sad part is childrren they fathered,.. see this and it goes on for decades, I know two dudes in my ex state,, just like this, havent worked for 6o years. Plus, they got free, housing and free food from the state. But I’m not feeling physically with either one. They have one of these doctors that certified their sick or not.. It’s really disgusting.. sad to Karen. Karen. Thank you for a great write, Pangie xx

It’s sad and I know as I rode the bus before to work and saw Down’s syndrome kids even on their way to work. Some worked in restaurants and such but they did what they could despite being disabled. Some it’s unnerving when those people you and I have seen cheat the system. I don’t mean disabled people but the falsely deemed such. Thanks for reading Pangie! Oh and for the fav!

Run, run, run, run or lock the doors and windows. I've met this person in male form and my mind could not conceive, had never imagined, just didn't know, some people were this way. Only when you get away from them, do you have the luxury of pitying them. Well-told, but I must leave before I get any of this on me ... CayCay

Brilliant poem, Karen. A woman has many qualities to live up to. Proud to say I have, and still work to pay my financial way... The last 30 years in the art industry, with its ups and downs. Art lessons, Commissions are not easy at my age, but my efforts go toward rent, food etc(My sons and I collaborate on this...) I don't expect them to "carry me..." Working from home mostly, we have good family times too... Single mothers work hard to keep food on the table. Full time/ part time (Warm Hugs

Your love and hard work as a mom is to be celebrated appreciated and rewarded in time when you see the fruits of your labor: sons who are responsible providers and good people. Would love to see your art! Can you post pictures on your page? Thanks for reading my poem and commenting!
