The Treason of Peace

Jul 19, 2026

· Collections, Poem, Scorched Strays

A barefoot woman stands between rows of prison cells, singing into a vintage microphone while holding an acoustic guitar. Warm light shines through a window behind her, contrasting with the dark steel bars and shadowed corridor. The Tittu signature, TRL monogram, and tristanrobertlange.com appear along the bottom. — Image: AI-generated using Adobe Firefly and modified by the author; Poetry: written by Tristan Robert Lange, Human-authored.

Just as surely as Jesus taught,
Others bastardize his teachings.
Anyone can lash out violently;
Not many commit to non-violence.

Beyond institutions, peace is attainable;
Angry voices spit venomous attacks.
Evil will not win, we shall overcome.
Zero chance threats or prison will quake me.

POET’S NOTE:
An acrostic Scorched Sunday poem. Part of my Scorched Strays collection. This poem reflects on nonviolence as costly Christian witness and the irony of believers condemning those who dare to practice the teachings they profess.

Tristan Robert Lange's handwritten signature: Tittu

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.
