We’ve given up – psychologically. We’ve thrown in the towel. We’re winded. We’re doubled up, on the floor. We’ve already accepted our defeat. On their terms!
We’ve surrendered. We do nothing but surrender. We’re waving the flag. We’ve given up. We’ll do anything they want.
We were outmanoeuvered. Out-strategised. At every turn. Outplayed …
My God, it was easy. It was effortless. Just a flick of the wing-tip. Just a slightly raised eyebrow. And that was it.
They won. They don’t even need their victory acknowledged. They’re generous like that. They don’t need us to pay tribute. To kneel at their feet, or whatever. They accept our subservience as a matter of course. Our obedience. It’s How Things Are. How Things Must Be.
