Preceded By Thunder

Neon days are preceded by thunder.

Neon days didn’t warn me about success,
neon days are built from the struggle;

Neon days do not show your sacrifice,
neon days attract flies to your light;

Neons days never simply appear,
neon days are the result of grit;

Neon days color heat lighting lime,
neon days hot pink crackles the night;

Neon days no one sees the hard road,
neon days you must fight through the fog;

Neon days attract lazy poachers,
neon days are rudely disrupted;

Neon days tend to show off hard work,
neon days posers want just a piece;

Neon days there are vultures that wait,
neon days you must tend your garden;

Neon days just the strong are standing,
neon days you must fight to keep them;

Thunder is preceded by neon days.
