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 🤯.
Tristan 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

drops of dust
drip up my eyes
in streaks of rust
to pallid green skies,
beneath the lord of flies—
survival swine, anti trust,
a whiff of a whopper of lies,
told as truth, it implies—
no matter the disgust—
endless degrees...
...of unwise.

a good dark write my friend
Norman, thank you, my friend. I always appreciate your encouragement. It means a lot that you took the time to stop by and read this one. 🧠📡⚰️🖤
most welcome friend
In a poem of antiphysics and counter economics where control is removed and placed all is lies. Lies are control and the mention of Lord of the flies a book of boys shipwrecked and having to set up government without adults that results in control and disaster. Nicely done Tristan you know very well that I am anti government of any form but also know that anarchism does not work either making me a bit of a nihilist but more of an isolationist for population reduction, and with that a bit of a hypocrite with four children of my own (conceived before my ideas had formed). A most thought provoking piece my friend
Without the government, we wouldn't have clean water.
That is true now days with as many people as there are but there was a time when there was no pollution since there were so few people and water was clean then.
Thank you, Soren. I knew you'd spot the Golding reference, and I enjoyed following where it led your thoughts. As always, our conversations leave me with something to chew on. Grateful for you, my friend. 🧠📡⚰️🖤
Thank you, never be. That's certainly one perspective, and I appreciate you adding it to the conversation. Thanks for reading, my friend. 🧠📡⚰️🖤
You are most welcome Tristan always a pleasure
I thought this was gonna be about inversion therapy - tipped upside down to be 'reborn' and all that guff!
Meanwhile we will stay the right way up. Popeye has to, to be able to eat his spinach. lol.
😂 Thanks, Orchi! I'll admit...that would've been a very different poem. Popeye refuses inversion therapy anyway. He says all the spinach would slosh into his ears. 🌯🚪☯️🙏
remarkable image !
Thank you so much, Lorenz! I really appreciate that. I'm so glad the imagery caught your eye, my friend. 🧠📡⚰️🖤
Keen observation for my money, Tristan. Any solutions?
Thanks, Dave! Nope...I'd normally say I'd leave that to the people with the higher pay grade than me. Although, now that I think about it, that just might be the whole problem. 😂 🌀⬆️🖤🙏
May have something (plenty) there....
I mean...right?!?! 😂
Governments agree you only need to be told a little of the truth, otherwise you can't cope.
Sadly, the little truth has disappeared and you just get the 100% lie now.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't vote for me, cos I can turn water into wine. Though due to the hosepipe ban you'll need to wait awhile.
😂 Thanks, Paul! I needed that laugh. If the waiting list for the wine is anything like everything else these days, we may all be looking for a reluctant carpenter with a neat water trick. 🌀⬆️🖤🙏
I see wonderful rhymes here dear Tristan!
Thank you, rhmn_7! That means a lot to me. I love playing with rhyme, so I'm delighted it stood out for you. I truly appreciate you stopping by, my friend. 🧠📡⚰️
