A square, candlelit depiction of a seventeenth-century Puritan meetinghouse. A grinning, horned Devil in black ministerial clothing stands behind a wooden pulpit, one clawed hand raised over an open Bible. Congregants in period clothing listen from the pews. Crosses, candles, and a chandelier illuminate the dark interior. The author's branding and website appear along the bottom.

Some people would rather
Accuse witches than actuallly
Love others as they love themselves;
Evil loves embodying “good” people;
Massacre is a “good” person’s playground.

POET’S NOTE:
An acrostic Scorched Sunday poem. Part of my Scorched Strays collection. Halloween Edition.

Inspired by the Salem witch trials of 1692, this poem confronts the religious fanaticism, hypocrisy, and self-righteousness that led to the persecution and execution of innocent people. It challenges those who claim moral superiority while condemning others, exposing the cruelty that can flourish when religious certainty replaces compassion and love. Though rooted in Salem’s history, its indictment extends well beyond 1692.

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.
