Morpheus asks Neo

intent in heart
births thought in head
ego manifests
claiming ownership
birthing delusion
rooted in ignorance 

back to the heart
resting therein
in tranquil quietude 
identity disappears
but consciousness exists

confronted with the truth
which is inconvenient 
for the ego
we are in denial

the puppet
wants to become
the puppeteer

so what will it be
blue pill or red pill

choose

What a powerful and thought provoking poem this is! I especially felt “the puppet wants to become the puppeteer so what will it be blue pill or red pill choose” yes we always have a choice and those last words really can be interpreted in so many ways! Deeply meaningful write this is! Pleasure reading as always. Sending you light dear seeker
