Spectacle Dreams in Neon Chains

In the glow of city lights,
we wander,
lost amid the flicker of screens,
where dreams are painted in neon hues,
each sign a promise,
each flash a distraction,
pulling us deeper into the void.

We chase the spectacle,
hearts racing with the pulse of the night,
as the world becomes a carnival of illusions,
where laughter dances on the edge of despair,
and reality blurs in the haze of desire,
a mirage shimmering just out of reach.

The streets hum with stories untold,
each face a canvas of hopes and fears,
yet we wear our chains proudly,
glistening in the artificial light,
for the price of distraction
is a fleeting sense of belonging,
a momentary escape from the mundane.

But beneath the surface,
the chains weigh heavy,
binding us to the spectacle,
as we trade our authenticity
for likes and shares,
our true selves lost in the algorithmic grind.

In the distance, voices rise,
a chorus of rebellion,
calling us to break free,
to unshackle our dreams
from the neon glow,
to seek the raw, the unfiltered,
the beauty of unpolished truth.

So let us dream without chains,
let us weave our narratives
in the fabric of the night,
for beneath the spectacle,
the stars still burn bright,
waiting for us to awaken,
to reclaim the power of our voices,
and dance in the light of our own making.
