Tom Quigley Poet Lyric

Red Pill Girl

Oh, you know what I want, I want me a Red Pill Girl
	The kind that’s aware of the realities of the world
	The kind who’s awake and her mind is unfurled
	No sensory deprivation tank for my kind of girl
	A self-aware she-babe makes my toes curl

Oh, I’d kinda get bored with a Blue Pill Chick
	The kind caked in fake-up three feet thick
	The kind who needs me to look smooth and slick
        Playing along with her daydream is such Bolshevik
        And floating in her pod would make me seasick
	
Oh, I can’t wait for my life with my Red Pill Hun,
	‘Cause she will always be lots of fun
	‘Cause she can do cartwheels while firing machine guns
	Dodging those enemy bullets one by one
	We’ll get white rabbits tattooed right on our buns

Oh, we’ll be so happy together, my Red Pill Wife
	She knows that the Matrix is just endless strife
	She knows how to fly spaceships and fight with a knife
	Our kids’ spinning back kicks will be outta sight 
	And forever after, we’ll still be pals for life

Oh, my Red Pill Girl, my Red Pill Girl…

Tom Arnone April 22, 2016 at 9:47 AM Enjoyed immensely. Very much reminds me of my poem, Ease On Down The Flame: Red Pill Girl, Ginger Gal ... we're forever searching.... Tom Quigley April 22, 2016 at 4:22 PM Looking forward to delving into your stuff more over the weekend...enjoying what I've read!

Timothy Hicks April 1, 2016 at 1:20 AM Matrix. Now that's a movie I haven't seen in a long time ... but who could forget its most infamous scene? Cool elaboration of the symbolism, Tom. Very original. You know, I just now realized further symbolism in this movie ... Neo (whom is called "the one") gets involved with a girl named Trinity ... is it just me or is that almost a biblical reference? Tom Quigley April 1, 2016 at 6:22 AM I'd say so. Keanu Reeves as a Christ figure? Ha!

Constance La France March 31, 2016 at 9:26 AM Tom, nice write, I did not see the movie so it is hard to relate, but I would think a no pill girl would be a better choice, wonderfully penned 7 ~ Tom Quigley March 31, 2016 at 12:09 PM In the movie, the "Red Pill" vs. "Blue Pill" is a symbolic choice for awareness versus a waking dream. IRL, you are absolutely correct. No pills for me or mine.

Poet Destroyer A March 30, 2016 at 10:05 PM well done on this Lyric Poem Tom. It flows and would make a great song. LINDA Tom Quigley March 30, 2016 at 10:30 PM Banjo? Country/western? Growly death metal? Can't make up my mind. :-) Thanks.
