Carpe Diem's Imagination #6, Pablo Picasso's "The Seated Man".

The Seated Man - Picasso

Off on wild tangents I go

~ 1 ~

on the iron throne
the psychopathic child king
speaks cruel justice*

~ 2 ~

from his wheel chair
the ancient artist captures
a moment of fate 

~ 3 ~

forlorn last wish
robert gleason junior
selects his own doom**

~ 4 ~

guitar on his knee
the master thrills us with notes
from his homeland

~~::~~ 

*   King Joffrey (Lannister) Baratheon, in case you were wondering.

**  As of this date, Gleason, a compulsive murderer even while in prison, was the most recent criminal to be executed by the electric chair, which he chose over lethal injection.
