NEON CITY

 

Alone I trod the streets of this neon city,

A stranger among other strangers
And sought some human retreat
In a jungle of concrete and glass.
None of humankind walked here.
Only a blind herd entombed by their greed

And their vacant eyes reflected the neon lies

Which had enslaved their souls.
People:
Will you turn a moment from your neon desire

If Nature should utter her final judgment,

And cleanse this wasteland with fire?
