Running Riot

Pardon the interruption but I need air some thoughts I’ve had with making this art piece:

I know people don’t like to get political but the lack of love these days is upsetting. The lack of unity these days is troubling. The lack of justice for all is maddening. The absence of meaningful dialogue sows deeper the seeds of discourse and upheaval.

Count your blessings. Lucky is the person who can choose to be political or not. Others less fortunate cannot.

To condemn the riots but not their cause is the language of the oppressor. The Truth is we should all be running riot over the lack of justice in the wake of police brutality. We should be running riot in the presence of fear mongering political platforms. We as Americans, as human beings, should and need to demand better. Or we can all avoid the tough conversations, sing a happy song and pretend everything is fine while the innocent continue to die. One day the wolf might be at your door and you’ll wonder why you’ve been silent for so long.

If you only get one thing out of my art piece I hope it’s realizing my art is a call for action.
