A Coronation- a poem about an art work

A Coronation

 

A Coronation of a God or king?

You probably preferred God-

Or maybe emperor.

Not that it really matters-

Now you are framed!

Framed for the pleasure for all,

All those who care to see.

Hung in your capital Paris-

But you are a slave here.

No longer a conqueror, a defeat!

A defeat worse than Waterloo.

The once grand Napoleon trapped-

In oil paint.
