Sleep Denied

Dancing wild…
Music loud…
Graceful moves…
Swooning crowd…

Sleepless nights…
Raining cash…
A drunken bar…
A drunken bash…

Some money earned…
A Family fed…
Thought of as base,
Yet all reveled.

A ban imposed
For sanctity.
Victim of your
Hypocrisy…

No food to feed…
All time to sleep…
At Stars I stare…
As I weep…

No blaring beats…
No leching eyes…
All holy but,
The body dies.

A struggle ensued…
Of work deprived…
Empty Nights…
Yet sleep denied…
