sleep only comes to the deserving
the ones who have earned their rest.

not greedy little children
without a care in the world
begging to stay up
just five more minutes.

but the ones who barely make it by
the ones who cherish the little sleep
they get between jobs
the impoverished
who need it the most.

sleep comes to the deserving.
