“On
the daily 8 o’clock newscasts, the voice of the regime’s
spokesmen has lost all confidence it used to have in the past. The
state representatives attend fiestas, parades, restaurants and public
streets only as long as they have assured an escape route, just in
case they will have to run. Supermarkets are full of commodities and
empty of consumers. The government’s people are trying on khaki
clothes, military jackets and quotients and make their voice sound
squeaky and metallic, just like the one of Michaloliakos1or
of Papadopoulos2.
The numbers of suicides are dashed. Some other farfetched guys
pretend to be political messiahs, create parties and climb on TV
crates to talk about the salvation of the people. The streets of the
Metropolis are filled with cops and homeless people, cops and
laid-off people, cops and protesters.
The Beast, which
all these years had swallowed us, is now ill and at the same time
pregnant. Corpulent and aged, it slowly dies out with the threat
either to take us with it or to offer us to its newborn child as its
legacy. Some have already loved the beast and refuse to face its
upcoming end; some, having been trapped in its stomach for so long,
cannot imagine any possibility of living without it; some others felt
quite comfortable all these years with the safety it provided them
and suddenly got terrified. Nobody knows what is there, outside the
Beast’s stomach. Yet, the Beast is either going to die, or give
birth, or both, and it’s getting ready for all cases. Now it’s
our turn to start getting ready. In order to have the upper hand, we
have to catch to kill it. At the same time, we must learn to live
without it.”
