(Poem) “Red Pill Blue Pill”

Red pill blue pill, you say, I chose the cruise pill. I say cruel deal. You say it don’t seem real, because life’s all chill,  life seems fair.. you and your white friend rocking the same hair. You say it doesn’t even matter because we all the same people, yeah I call it sheeple. They say they don’t see color, as long as you don’t mention your brother who was shot by undercovers. I say with the pill I took life seems real. I suddenly like nappy hair and I  scream it to the air. Yeah I took that dare… I can now see a fake smile and your urge to make me frown… Why you want me down… You said your life’s all good so why you want my crown… You say the pill you took gives you worldly things.. Like money and golden rings.. But it doesn’t gives spiritual things. So it just feels like a fling with nothing real to bring.  But blue is your favorite color and it matches all the others so you chose the cool pill… it was the thing to do pill. No one wanted the red pill except for those that were taunted while you flaunted. You asked why I chose it since all the others opposed it. I say it just felt right, it helped me skip that plight. It made me content inside. I think I chose the right side. I think I like this ride. Red pill blue pill. Try not to take the cruise pill.
