Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
Life is full of seasons. This is a season of transition for me, where I will be moving with my family to a new location. As such, with much logistics to consider, I am doing my best to keep up. Please know if I accidentally don't respond, it is not because I am ghosting or becoming distant. Once things settle after the move, I am sure life will return to some normalcy. In the meantime, and always:
Read 👓, Write ✍️, Rise 🌅, Realize 🤯.

They promised the strongest economy.
They promised to target minorities.
They promised they would be authorities.
They promised financial autonomy.
They promised with such false dichotomy.
They promised no inferiorities.
They promised all this to majorities
On whom they performed a lobotomy.
What they promised ain’t what they delivered,
Yet, you hope—pray—that this man ain’t the same.
“He isn’t the same”; sure. He might be worse,
But, if not, many are chicken-livered
Because of his malicious—corrupt game—
Leaving a nation’s morals in a hearse.

- Comment from author about the poem: Form: Petrarchan (Italian) sonnet. Meter: Pentameter. If there’s one thing history has taught us, it is that people are notoriously bad at seeing themselves and their decisions clearly.
