Redd

"There are major developments tonight
In the case of a neighborhood watch captain in Florida
Who shot and killed an unarmed..."

One pill
Two pill
Red pill
Blue pill
Black face
Blue gun
Old story
New Sun
You take the red one, and I'll do my very best
To show you how deep my pain really goes
I'll tell you my story
I'll say that I grew up believing in a perfect world
And as I got older, I started to believe in change
And before I died, I struggled to believe in morality or basic humanity
I drove by every squad car the way I took all college exams
MORTIFIED
I made sure to follow every rule my conscience had ever taught me
"Keep your hands on 10 and 2, always
Don't mind the earthquakes in your wrist or how many tears your
Palms shed because of how terrified they are for you"

Witness
Newscast Interlude

Know the speed limit
Drive three to five ticks below it
And I don't care how slow it feels like you're going
Pace as though your life depended on it
Be wary of how loud your music is
Depending on the time of day, turn it off
Keep your eyes on the road
Now is the only time I will focus enough for tunnel vision
Stay calm
Ignore your heart kickboxing the inner walls of your chest
Ignore your stomach being filled with fear's lithium
Just take a deep breath
Taste the sweet nectar of nature's oxygen
As she dances down your throat and caress your anxious lungs
Enjoy this moment
It just might be your last one
