When power rots, who should inherit the earth?

February 27, 2025

Graffiti on a concrete wall reads: "May the rotting flesh of Kings feed the earth," with an encircled 'A' symbolizing anarchism. This phrase echoes revolutionary and anti-monarchist rhetoric, possibly drawing inspiration from the Book of Revelation, where kings and rulers face divine judgment. The statement expresses a desire for the fall of corrupt power structures, where the decay of oppressive rulers symbolically nourishes the earth—suggesting rebirth, justice, or revolution. The rough, dripping black spray paint on the weathered wall amplifies the rebellious and defiant tone of the message.
