The Mystic Speaks: Either/Or

Nov 11, 2025

· Chiasm, Free Verse, Poem

A black stone and a white stone sit side by side, separated by a faint beam of light, symbolizing moral contrast and the choice between inclusion and exclusion. — Image: AI-generated using DALL-E and modified by the author; Poetry: written by Tristan Robert Lange, Human-authored.

Listen, says the mystic,
The erudite have learned
What the wise already know.

You cannot have it both ways;
You are either inclusive of others,
Or exclusion is your energy.
Either you are exclusive,
Or you work toward inclusion.
You cannot include who you exclude.
