It is said that they worked From dawn until dusk Not for world peace But pieces of the world Pieces of dirt Ripped out the roots All of our energy Wasted on The earth was split Taxed and owned Who needs to share When you can have shares You could each have your own That’s what they said No need for each other Sharing is sparing Look over there They want it too You better go hide And don’t look outside We stayed in our corners Clutching it tight Worried for the day We’d have to fight Whatever was left Broken and shattered Not from devils But angels that scattered To each their own Not for each other Only against what Nature was left You wouldn’t believe it If you saw for yourself We trades sky and sea creatures For metal and screens. We watched them there What wasn’t alive. We reminisced While there was still time We don’t know who Made things this way But we know Who watched and stayed

Humanity as in Riddled

Riddled as in Rotting

Rotting from being

left out too long

Left out of laws and regulations

Left out of Facts

Left out of leaders hands

Left out of “hard choices”

Will humanity be left out

Until there are no humans left

Just bodies and things

Just shadows & screens

Will humanity be left out

Until morals become politics

Until children are bombed

While people discuss

Until it becomes a buzz,

A trend,

A cause,

Extreme

Or maybe just until

A soldier torches himself

So that he could light the way

And stop fighting the way

~R.I.P Aaron Bushnell

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? If there are good people in the world While children are being bombed Does it make a difference?

For there to be humanity There needs to be humans For there to be humans There needs to be hearts For there to be hearts There needs to be brains That was not taught To forget it remains

I painted this to symbolize that they can't use their wings. Because they can't escape these attacks but also need to stand up for their home.

"United Souls"

I made this last night thinking about how much we've changed in the last few weeks. We are either giving them a voice or allowing them to be silenced. Not choosing is a choice.

Did it hurt? When you fell from their expectations?

I think we are afraid of death because it is so beautiful. Afraid we are not worthy of dying because we were not worthy of living.
