The Neon Menace of Meaning

There’s a sale on neon miracles,                                          

Everything must go.

Half price.

Fake light.

 

the skies are bought by

 

Sidewalk Gods that strain their necks,

To see the new you.

White gold.

No soul.

 

brand name clouds and

 

Jesus bleached his hair today,

You must follow suit.

Cutting edge.

Still empty.

 

heaven’s merged with hell.

 

The skies are bought by

brand name clouds and

heaven’s merged with hell.

Odd format, but that's just how the poem looked in my mind...
