In realms of television's darkest night
A world of crime and violence takes its right
The Sopranos, a series of infamous fame
Where HBO's leniency lets mature themes inflame
Bada Bing, a strip club, a hub of male desire
Women as decorations, their stories left to tire
But then comes Tracee, young and fair to see
A single mother, struggling, in a world not kind to be
Her life is marked by hardship and strife
Entangled with Ralphie, a man with a violent life
Tony Soprano's words, cold and unkind to her plight
Leave her to suffer, at the hands of her lover's cruel might
The episode "University" weaves two tales as one
Meadow's college life, and Tracee's tragic fate is done
The performances shine bright, like stars in the night
Ariel Kiley's portrayal of Tracee, a true emotional sight
But controversy surrounds this episode so bold
Fans cancel subscriptions, at the disturbing content they're told
Kiley herself speaks out, on the typecasting she faced
Pride in her role mixed with regret for opportunities misplaced
"University" stands as testament to The Sopranos' might
Unflinching portrayal of violence against women in sight
Ralphie's brutality shines bright like a beacon in the dark
A reminder of consequences for those who dare to embark
In this world of organised crime so dark and so cold
Women suffer at the hands of men with hearts turned old.
