Neon Dreams

And demons scream
Into the crowded sky
Of lands built in absence of mind
Of neon dreams, diners,
Haunted Malls n parking funeral lots
A ghost nation walking the wastes
Of neon dreams n marketing schemes
Hell is in the ancient seems
Of neon dreams n one-night stands
Money sex power and fame 
All looks good on credit cards
Religion, politics, the oldest game 
All know no shame. 
All covered in the hues of shadows 
Of neon flickering, dreams dreamt 
Of future crimes
Of lost memory, lost history 
The strategies in mysteries
Feeling the grime
All look good in televised glory
All just video violence in 30 mins clips 
For the short attention spans theater of the mind
Dead eyes plugged into silicon 
Systems of a dark web ruled
By something unknown, unseen as...
It dreams in neon!
