What They Called Her

Apr 5, 2026

· Collections, Poem, Scorched Strays

Black-and-white close-up of a woman’s face partially obscured by smeared dark markings and handwritten labels including “Sinner,” “Whore,” “Heretic,” “Outcast,” “Harlot,” and “Fallen.” Her expression is calm and resolute, emerging from shadow. Tristan Robert Lange branding appears at the bottom. — Image: AI-generated using DALL-E and modified by the author; Poetry: written by Tristan Robert Lange, Human-authored.

Men have long lorded their sex
Against the ones who birth them.
Religious refraction rendered—
Yea—faith became fatal facility.

Metastatic, humanitiy’s demons dine.
Acknowledgment leads to healing.
Grace is given to all who choose it.
Devotion does not find many friends
Against the currents of doubt.
Love shows itself true—never absent.
Every twisted name—every mockery—
Negates the very faith they claim.
Eternity’s eye remembers.

POET’S NOTE:
An acrostic Scorched Sunday poem. Part of my Scorched Strays collection. This poem confronts the distortion of identity through misnaming, exposing how faith has been bent and weaponized while truth remains…unforgotten.
