wise ears, more war & an update

Recently seen on the transformer building next to the big Vepco hydro building...

hear dat?

partial city paint-over inside the transformer building 

here the aqua male/Mars symbol includes lines of suggestive movement...

In black, over the mysterious word "WOOK":

"Start anew BOMB EVERYTHING."

While this could refer to the metal group "Bomb Everything" it also reminds me of Joseph Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness, when Marlow finds Kurtz's  proclamation "Exterminate all the brutes!" in his International Society for the Suppression of Savage Customs pamphlet. Marlow's discovery of this phrase is portrayed in Francis Ford Coppola's film adaptation of the novella Apocalypse Now between 5:33-5:50.

And finally....

Above is a brief update on my "belle isle hydro plant" entry that reminded us that we are not special. The respondent insists "But my momma tells me it's true" possibly with sincerity, but more likely in sarcastic agreement. This could be a critique of a self-centered, over-praised generation or it could simply be a statement of absolute truth: we are just one of 7 billion people on a tiny planet,  in a solar system that is a small part of the Milky Way galaxy that is just one of billions of other galaxies.

However that's not to say that human life is not beautiful and worth living...
