Description

I'm proud to say I won an award with this piece. The theme was "I hold in my hand..." and it was up to us to interpret that into art. Shortly after 9-11, some hillbilly dropouts killed a clerk on account that he looked Middle Eastern. So I did this to promote tolerance towards our neighbors, especially since I live right across from a wonderful Middle Eastern family. Of course the scanner molested the words in the back so for your convenience I shall reproduce what my message read.
-WE ALL HOLD IN OUR HANDS THE POWER TO STOP THIS PREJUDICE AGAINST OUR FELLOW AMERICANS- IT IS LIKE A HOUSE OF CARDS; KNOCK ONE DOWN AND THE REST MUST TOPPLE- WE ALL MUST BELIEVE IN EACH OTHER; ONLY THEN CAN WE HOPE TO STAND SIDE BY SIDE AND PROTECT OUR COUNTRY; THE UNITED STATES- SEPT. 11, 2001
Hey, I'm an artist not a poet! And I finished this piece 15 minutes before it was due in class. And no, that is NOT Osama...why do people keep asking me that?
-The Confused Captain.
