“Hang the Bastard, High” WarPAINt. Paint on 8” x 10” canvas. 2025.
The one eyed king/od
Pays the price for his curiosity
At the end of a Rope
Hang man! Hang man!
He gasps
I see a friend a comin’ , ridin’ many miles
I’m sure they bring silver/gold
Please sir,
May I have a stay upon a stool?
What do you take me for, a fool?
The hang man sneered.
You may be worth a kingly sum alive
But a dead king still fetches a princely sum
And there’s far less talking
