Tanya Knoop

Chapter 4: Yes, It’s Real, 2021
___

It’s seven minutes until midnight and too late to turn back. Polar ice caps are melting, people around the world are fighting disease, fire, floods and droughts in addition to the never-ending wars. We realize that life is what matters. Water is life and we see a future in which it’s gone. Living things are in danger and people are scared. The very rich are trying to escape to space or some underground alternative. The Corona virus is with us all over the world.

The rose is more vanity. The cup is a sign of faulty life goals as we look for fleeting pleasure.
