The Story

The “it” in the title refers to human beings-which I liken to a virus. This virulent life form has been rapidly multiplying and along the way has been trashing the earth. Check the dump sites in the US, China, India, Africa, but put on a gas mask before you take this survey. Take a walk along the beaches of the Eastern seaboard and you will notice them strewn with plastic bags, beer and soda bottles, electronic refuse, hypodermic needles and other detritus that the virus has deposited wherever it has alighted. The presence of the Statue of Liberty artifact (for those who remember) reprises the final scene of the “Planet of the Apes”.

The big picture shows the “blue planet” Earth, covered with the virus. The virus has managed to send probes to the Moon and Mars, accidentally (?) leaving a trail of DNA. Will it stop there? 

Interestingly, in the background of this unwholesome portrayal, is the Helix nebula, frequently referred to as “the eye of GOD”. Isn’t it time for --- to do some micromanaging?
