Caged Bird Syndrome: Life after LIFE is the first of several series featuring a collective work of original mixed media fine art and poetry by Dexter Bernard Lewis Jr., also known as the artist RuBelluz El'Don. The title Caged Bird Syndrome is an allegorical representation of the soul of man confined to a cage of flesh, a figurative way to convey a verbal image for the declining deprivation of rights, privileges, and restrictions on every aspect of life as a prisoner and, therefore, the mental condition of transgressors. Life after LIFE illustrates this struggle and guides the reader through a message of sacrifice, servanthood, and redemption.
