Elderly Hobo

















The hobo life was romantic
Until the heart of the heartland changed…
Now when one leaves the box car,
Only an uncertain world remains.

The romance of the unknown,
Now keeps me awake at night.
The world is now unforgiving
Though shelter and food are in sight.

It’s easier to keep moving,
While staying close to the rails…
A lack of kindness is evident,
When trust in my hard work fails.
