Darkness blankets the Earth,
Streetlights start to glow.
It's nighttime announcing birth,
And to sustain the status quo.
Multi-colored neon signs,
Scream out their words to the night.
Like different colored ancient wines,
That to behold are a delight.
The children of the night arrive,
Amid the glow of the neon lights.
Like busy bees around a hive,
Performing timeless ancient rites.
The world comes to life at night,
The streets overflowing in human flesh.
And underneath those neon lights,
Laughter and lipstick, and nylon mesh.
