I took the sentence to be a response to somebody's rant...Allright, allright, the world is in crisis, we know it. ...Now what?

The world undergoes a crisis, people know it.
Literature and art are changed forever.
Duo places a problematic sentence in front of students
The Green Owl swoops.
Things are back to normal.
