Ronovanwrite’s has given us the Pablo Picasso painting to think about. Then he’d like us to write a poem of how we see it. The painting is Gurnica. Painted in 1937 it is a very grafic portrayal of war.
Death laughs
This is a war of two halves
Slaughter house rules
Mutilation carried out by fools.
Women and children first
Come on big man do your worst.
Then let’s take innocent animals out.
They are just sport no doubt.
The death wheel will do another turn.
We will we choke on fumes as bodies burn.
It’s the war mill and we are the grist.
We are just humans and the lord is pissed.

It was a massacre perpetrated by the Nazi aviation in Spain in 1937, a test run, invited by Franco. Civil war is always terrible. The images recall other paintings of the massacre of the innocents and Goya’s paintings of war.

I know about the Spanish Civil war , the whys and wherefores , but I should look into it more deeply really.

It’s the mindless slaughter that is so incomprehensible. Nicely done.
