The City of Lost Wages

The City of Lost Wages

A Poem by Anne Lyons
"

Writing from my balcony.. 2am.. the city that never sleeps.

"

As I sit awake studying

the dense city of 

Vegas, I wonder

how a simple place 

at one time became

so incredibly alluring.

I watch as alcohol 

depletes the minds

of adolescence who

are merely seeking

enjoyment, that would

be otherwise stolen 

if elsewhere.

Because truly

this city is simply

a nesting ground 

for unlimited 

fun-seekers.

According to

society's standards,

that is.

I'm sure the atmosphere is quite different...
Visual perspective of things in this write...
