Neon Idol Attraction

Las Vegas ... a gangster’s irradiated dream Sin city ... all that glitter glow ain’t what it seems Neon idols ... false lights beckon the human flies One-arm lovers ... giving fifty-two kisses of plastic coated lies Spinning red satin black bed ... promising to satisfy every drunken lust Non-believers ... in the Devil, they do blindly trust The game of con ... it’s a brothel house affair Papier seduction ... blood money lines their coffin lair Viva Las Vegas ... welcome to the American Idol nightmare

Truer words rarely penned, my friend...although there's a Chabad House in Vegas now, at least one strong ray of light. Blessings, Gershon

So true! Gaudy and loud with clanging slot machines. Funny story: we went to Circus World with our daughter. She wanted to win her boyfriend a huge spongebob. So she gets rings to throw on the bottles. She with all earnest wanted to win and I said a prayer. She hands me the rings. Well, Freddie, I am not good at these games. Yup, God’s good humor was with me and I won. So I told the lady about the prayer and she almost looked shocked that a Christian was in her midst. Be blessed my good friend!

So true, Freddie. I had to comment on this one. I don't believe in gambling. It can be so tempting to take a chance on winning big but the reality is that it's rigged against you and when someone loses sometimes it affects their whole family. Great poem with a great message.
