No One Would Come To Help Us

 

Chaos has broken out in our so-called civilised world.

There is a bear taking advantage of this chaos.
There is a star watching and waiting — waiting for what?
There is a snake expecting help from the star — what is it expecting?
And there is Anna, a woman digging dugouts in preparation for fighting the bear.

Amidst our so-called civilised relations,
Anna is a woman digging dugouts.
‚From the very beginning, we knew that no one would come to help us, not even the snake.‘

I’m one of the millions wondering what’s going on there.
We are flooded with information from all sides, but can we trust it?
I see what I see, but pictures can be deceptive.

However, I see Anna, a woman digging dugouts:
‚From the very beginning, we knew that no one would come to help us, not even the Snake.‘

I keep wondering: what does the Snake want from my Star?
And can the Star trust the Snake?
It reminds me of Kaa, the snake that hypnotised Mowgli.
Is the snake trying to hypnotise my Star?
I listen to what the snake is saying:
‚I want money! I want weapons!‘

Astonishing – a week ago, the snake showed its weapon to the world.
This is absolutely incomprehensible to me – the snake could send its weapon to Anna.
a woman digging dugouts in preparation for the fight against the Bear.

It seems as if almost the whole world is waiting.
The Snake is waiting for help from the Star.
The Star is waiting to see what the Bear is doing.
The Bear is waiting for the right moment to use the chaos to his advantage.
I keep wondering what is going on there and why my Star keeps waiting.
And what about Anna? She is the only one who is taking action, digging dugouts in preparation for the fight.

‚From the very beginning, we knew that no one would come to help us, not even the Snake.‘
