Resistance is Futile

Or so they say
I remember something about that
from my favorite Cake song.

I have a feeling that saying
is popular among those in power
to deny those without

as if words and repetition
are more resilient than actions

"It is useless to resist us"
is prescriptive, not descriptive
attempting to persuade rather than convince

The real power hides
in the apathy of the oppressed
to refuse to act

If instead of refusing to act,
they refuse to believe the futility?

What a world it might be.
