Battle of the Brushstrokes

In corridors of power, a portrait reigns
Damien Hirst’s brushstroke masterpiece attains
Controversy guides its storied path
A symbol of the ruler’s aftermath

Ministers draw their battle lines anew
Debating worth, value, and its true hue
A royal icon, subject to critique
Wrapped in politics, one cannot speak

Delicate strokes grace her regal face
The Queen, captured in a timeless space
A tapestry of colors, bold and bright
Reflecting depth within her royal might

Wandering through Whitehall, the painting roams
From desk to desk, it finds its temporary homes
Seeking resonance and lasting appeal
In whispered secrets that it may reveal

Politicians fight, passions running deep
For this work of art they tirelessly keep
An emblem of power and a nation’s pride
A catalyst for battles on every side

Art, politics, and royalty entwined
A clash of wills, unforgiving and unkind
Yet within this realm, a masterpiece does dwell
Resonating memories and stories to tell
