“Kids in Cages” 2021

Acrylic on canvas 60x120

Captured children-caged commodities for a white system who actively intends to rob us from our ability to dream and prosper in this supposed land of the free 

But Amerikkka

we witness a free freakshow instead

Kids in cages and pigs running an operation of enslavement a modern day concentration camp where souls are stripped , raped, and robbed from their natural born freedoms 

You don’t fuckin’ own us or nobody but your own body 

Let’s envision what happens if we turn the tables and take your child and starve them from respect and love- place them in a cage and strip their innocence away

This is not okay in any way situation or form 

And shit is fucked up

Kids in cages burn amidst our eyes 

Their little souls escape in flames and become fumes we inhale to further rot our own soul heavy with ashes from earth crying letting us know her children are not okay

Wake up and smell our reality 

Amerikkka take a deep breath and inhale the freedoms you’ve robbed and taken from kids in cages 

Kids in cages rot away as the clock marches to the beat of oppression and the systemic racism that enriches this demented culture thrives in this white world it has created 

we’ve got to end this bullshit

Abolish ice 

Fuck it all 

Burn it to the ground 

because kids in cages deserve to be free 

Just You like you and me- supposedly 

Shit we are not free when our brothers and sisters are disabled from pursuing their sueños and aspirations enjaulados y arrinconados in the darkest places so they’re forgotten as our conscience darkens in hypocrisy as we make the sign of the cross and listen to Sunday’s sermon and brunch y almorzar afterwards while kids remain in cages 

Kids in cages 

This vision burns eternally in my imagination 

Looks like kids burning in hell metaphorically for the same hell we’ve created for ourselves 

It’s time to wake the fuck up and liberate ourselves and set these kids in cages free
