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 🤯.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion—
Really a form of exclusion;
Didn’t you know it’s hard
For those straight to exercise
The right to love whom they do—
That’s why Washington must
Protect your right to screw
Whoever loves differently than you,
A parent’s right to oppress,
Demand a boy not wear a dress,
Conversion therapy—
What a fucking mess—
Not them, of course—
But that a boy might wear a dress,
Like a girl wears pants.
Soon,
We’ll have government house plants
To ensure your family values match,
Straight, white,
Male or submissive, right?
This is the era of dominance,
Little men with erectile delusions,
Dysfunction the only junction
Between what we will choose.
Either way,
People like me...
We lose.

Discrimination or prejudice about things that are not our business and over which people have no control is outright wrong and well stated in this poem. Well said Tristan do not the Scots wear kilts have not certain island tribes worn dresses, what make tradition right or wrong. A good write for this month. Nicely done.
Thank you, Soren! 😄 We're very much on the same page here. History is full of examples showing how quickly social norms can change, and what once seemed shocking can become entirely ordinary. The kilt example always makes me chuckle. A piece of clothing somehow becomes acceptable or unacceptable depending entirely on where and when a person is standing. Funny old world. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts, my friend. 🌱⚖️🖤🙏

You are certainly most welcome my friend
an excellent write with a grave warning
Much appreciated, Norman! The strange thing is that some of what would have sounded absurd a few years ago no longer feels quite so absurd today. That's part of what inspired this one. 🌱⚖️🖤🙏
that is so true, dangerous times my friend
At one point I was gonna start a campaign of electing cabbages, with the slogan 'Cabbages rule OK!'
Now it may have been 'Spinach rules OK' but a certain one has glugged all the spinach! lol.
Ohh, let's keep talking rubbish. heehee.
Orchi, I fully support the Cabbage Party. Frankly, I trust a cabbage more than most politicians. At least a cabbage doesn't pretend to be anything other than a cabbage...and it's related to...glug...
No Mr. P...we knows the answer ain't gl...oh...he's eating kale. And there it is. 🤣 🌱⚖️🖤🙏
Ooh kale now. Has he gone exotic?! lol. And how's that knitting, Tom? And how the sabre wielding classes going, Obi? lol.
You are not identifying as a plant pot and thats that.
No wearing dresses on a Tuesday, and definitely no kissing that guy with the weird moustache who is actually a girl.
Now remember. Your elected democratic government is looking out for you.
Paul, thank you, my friend! 🤣 Now I'm picturing a government pamphlet explaining proper Tuesday attire, approved romantic partners, and acceptable facial hair classifications. What if the stache looks like a q-tip as opposed to a wombat? LOL! Naturally, it's all for our own good. 😄 🌱⚖️🖤🙏
Poignant.
Much appreciated, Thomas! I was hoping the brevity would help the point land without getting buried beneath it. Glad you stopped by, my friend. 🌱⚖️🖤🙏
Now aint that just the effin truth .. The world is sadly filled with BIG GOTS .. Neville 🖤🐈⬛🐦⬛⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🖤🐧👍
Neville, thank you! 😆 Yes...yes it effing is. The older I get, the more I suspect a lot of this posturing comes from people trying very hard to convince themselves they're "Charles in Charge"...you remember the show? 🤣 Always grateful for your thoughts, my friend. 🌱⚖️🖤🙏
yes indeed, agree with you wholeheartedly on this topic...
