Item Description

"The painting is titled 'Cry for the Earth'.  It is a reflection upon how much is taken every day from nature and the Earth that here symbolize the feminine and nurturing energy.  Apart from the grieving for the losses (pollution, over urbanization, deforestation, people who didn't survive the extreme hardships of abuses or succumb to poverty), it also contains a positive message: the endless capacity of good forces to heal and generate beauty." - Elisa Rossi

Created with acrylics and a credit card, unframed art on canvas.

 

This poem, by the artist accompanies the painting:

'There's blood on your lies,

a green light in the eyes,

  they hide complicity and benevolence

 those are murderers in disguise.

It doesn't matter how many idols you can buy,

Shame will eat you till the end alive.

 

The original act was an indecipherable deceptive wound, almost a guarantee to death.

 

He comes in red and black,

steel stingers in the beard

bolts and bullets are the targets in his eyes.

How far did you go to cover us in despise?

 

Not many allies in our fight

what are we trying to imply?

If the darkness comes from the majority's mind it's hard to speak the light.

 

Seemed we are insane, embracing a cause in vain

Didn't we receive a share of the cake?

So what is our complain?

 

You broke some minds in trillions fragments

kicked them somewhere far

choked lungs and cords

it seemed impossible to get beyond that filthy bar 

Many lost their minds, lost thir faculty to speak

but we can still see

oh yes, we see and dig

 

The gun of the  murderers comes with gold and sweets

Their riches are poisoning us

until the last bloody spit

 

Everything will die if you don't stop and cry

We are not alive

we just survive every time we see the sun rise

 

Feed us truth, feed us light

Feed us sunshine in the night

 

You can either pretend to be fine with a fake broken smile

or you can accept to die, be roborn and shine

 

Thousands of warriors are going to war  in name of Truth, for redemption is a human right , not a tabù

 

They stand on the front lines, bleeding but not giving a damn.

Because Life will be very, very nice again'
