day SIXTY EIGHT

blue pill red pill

should I
just
give in

this time
it’s the
blue pill

one swallow
and the truth
is just a dream

they’ve
swallowed
the lie

blind to the truth
given up thinking
it will be easy

I could just
repeat the lies
copy and paste

give up - take
the blue pill
the lie will win

but
where’s my
red pill

the way to
the truth
it’s gone

I
swallowed
it

too late
I now have to
fight the lie

live the truth

flush the
blue pill
