The Great Substitution

Mar 28, 2026

· Free Verse, Poem

A dark gothic church sanctuary with a wooden pulpit centered beneath candlelight. Large shadowy hands loom behind it, stretching across the wall and floor like a controlling force. The scene feels ominous and oppressive, symbolizing distorted authority within a sacred space. — Image: AI-generated using DALL-E and modified by the author; Poetry: written by Tristan Robert Lange, Human-authored.

Jesus saith unto them,

“All the powers of earth
will be usurped by you —
my name in vain.

Go ye therefore, and indoctrinate all nations,
baptizing them in the shadow
of all your fear-built
institutions:

scaring them into observing
all things whatsoever
the leadership commands—

regardless:

and lo,
convince yourselves that
I am both with you
and seeth not the depths
of your heart’s terrible
treason.”

Amen.
