Even As They Burn

·
Close-up portrait of a woman’s face illuminated by intense orange firelight against a dark background. Flames reflect clearly in both pupils. Her expression is steady and contemplative, with half her face in shadow and the other lit by warm glow. Logos appear in the lower corners and tristanrobertlange.com is centered at the bottom.

Morality-mongers love a good show
Against those who choose rebellion.
Radical surrender is the only way forward.
God’s will outlasts our virtue vacuum.
Union with God comes only through love—
Exacting minds are forever chagrined—
Replete with the emptiness of the self.
Integration is identity’s instrument
The solemn state of the liberated soul—
Ensnared not by vacuous virtue signaling.

Punishment is no reason to fear truth.
Offensive, the truth is hardly welcome;
Rigid religiosity disregards realization,
Enshrining resonant regurgitation.
The soul is emptied in plenitude,
Even as their flames scorch and steal.

Poet’s Note:
An acrostic Scorched Sunday poem. Part of my Scorched Strays series. This poem explores costly surrender, where truth and love endure even as systems burn what they cannot control.
