Abstraction Traction Poem, by Tristan Robert Lange, at My poetic side

Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
Friends, I’m doing my best to keep up with comments. 😅 I’m still current on my own poems and first replies on others’ work, but this season has been a bit of a twister. Figured I’d drop a quick note so you don’t think I’ve vanished or gone flaky.
Read. Write. Rise. Realize. 🤘💀🖤

so you go for

abstract,

present it as fact—

why?—

is the plan to

distract, while

behind the scenes,

you pact to act—

but your narrative

lacked—

and honestly,

i find your abstraction

devoid of satisfaction

hear me, this is no

detraction—

it is not merely a

reaction—

rather, it gains

traction because

truth in

action

outlasts any faction.

now, please,

don’t you react

because I presented

a fact,

not just some fear,

and in that word

lies the will to act,

for knowledge

empowers

and nurtures

courageous flowers

no matter how high

power is stacked.
