Resistance Is Futile

In a robotic voice
I’d mimic the famous line
Re-sis-tance is fu-tile
It always made me chuckle
chuckle that is until today

I understand now
it’s so much more
than just a phrase
from sci-fi movies

I see you resisting the inevitable
Resisting because it’s not fair
because it’s not right
Resisting with all your might
and you’re angry

I’ve often found that
when Life takes with one hand
it gives with the other

So here it is
ready to unroll
Bite into your future
Have faith
and remember
Resistance really is futile

'What life takes with one hand, it gives with the other.' So true... One door closes, another opens... 'Resistance is futile' seems to be today's reality written large -- abortion was resisted; gay marriage was resisted; open borders were resisted; the green revolution was resisted... It's all come to or coming to pass... Interesting! :)
