Picasso: Death is a Mental Song (Free verse) by DreamerSupreme
-
-
When I see a Picasso painting,
I'm always reminded of my poetic
opinion concerning the soul
and the meaning of that strange
disfigured style of his:
He was capturing the effects
of sadistic violence, painting
bright colored beaten images
to show the mind of a killer.
He was a winner, the man who
could pick up prostitutes, seduce them,
fuck them, and beat them silly.
He may have been witty,
I might never know.
I do know his paintings
were strange, and made me
think about the joy of killing.
He caused me to experience
the pleasure of bashing flesh
to a deep purple bruise.
He showed me what a man sees
when he has nothing to lose.
He showed me the beauty of the animal
that is caged within man;
the pure consciousness of survival
and the elimination of the weak.
This man was damn good,
being able to speak like a poet,
with colors and not words,
a brush and no pen.
