The War Hawk
a protest piece
..........
Eisenhower's greatest fear... In the flesh?
I've got some bad news for you My Sunshine
Uncle Sam isn't well he stayed back at the hotel...
...........
Behold!, The War Hawk! Cloaked in colors he doesn't understand. The War Hawk shines like a gleaming gilded fraud. He looks like a Trillion bucks, but he has cost us so much more than money.
He takes what he needs but his needs are endless.
He takes our tax dollars to fuel his complex industry of War and Death. Money earned in the pursuit of happiness is taxed and transformed into the pursuit of death for some stranger or their child across the globe. Our dreams fuel his nightmares.
He took our education and burned our books to make his missiles smarter. He doesnt want US to think, it scares him.
He makes US fear words, ideas, and each other just so we don't notice that the water is getting hotter all around.
He tells us we must bring democracy to the world while taking our rights from us at home.
He preaches democracy while he shits on the constitution.
He takes our privacy in the name of security. He is just researching his enemy, US.
He would rather watch his money burn than have it help pay for your medicine. He is a killer
He has gone by many names, but they are all redacted.
Our American dream has turned into a national nightmare, and it is becoming the Oligarchs wet dream. They are using our nation built on freedom to usher in a new age of Techno-oligarchy and Fascism. They have built the Bird, he is here, and he is pecking away at our soul. When will we banish him from our flock? If you ask me The War Hawk should go the way of the Dodo.

This piece was painted for the NoFa Open Art Exhibition in August of 2026.
The base sculpt is Nightfeather from Owlsome creations. I utilised the alternate head sculpt they offered at Nova Open 2025. and slightly resculpted the Moon Broache to be more generic and less fantasy.
