Praise Then Parse

A cinematic gothic medieval throne room. A young woman with short hair stands alone beneath a shaft of light while nobles, bishops, judges, and courtiers surround her in shadow.

Justice never seems to get carried out,
Even in moments where things seem clear.
Heaven knows this has been proven true,
Agonizingly so, in the annals of history.
Nothing new to say—we pass up vision,
Nix wisdom over silly details like age.
Eventually, folly is less forgiving.

Liberators used before discarded—
Annihilation of the voice we called for.

Peasants are no less than kings,
Underestimated as they may be.
Commissions become excommunications,
Elephant stampede hidden in plain sight of site,
Let us get what we want, praise then parse;
Let us send the lamb to its slaughter.
Eventually, we might see this is wrong.

POET’S NOTE:
An acrostic Scorched Sunday poem. Part of my Scorched Strays collection. History is filled with people called upon when courage is needed, then condemned when conviction becomes inconvenient. This piece reflects on one such stray.

Tristan Robert Lange

Hi, I’m Tristan Robert Lange — a poet who writes at the crossroads of existentialism, emotional depth, societal critique, and the gothic. My work often journeys into the human psyche, weaving dark and atmospheric imagery with profound emotional insight. I draw inspiration from literary voices such as Edgar Allan Poe, Jim Morrison, Charles Baudelaire, Sylvia Plath, Mary Shelley and Bram Stoker, among others. Their influence fuels my pursuit of vivid imagery and unflinching exploration of the macabre, the mysterious, and the sacred-in-subtext. My poetry is both confessional and visionary, haunted and haloed, carrying the weight of suffering but always straining toward transcendence.
