regression agression

Tristan Robert Lange


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 πŸ‘“, Write ✍️, Rise πŸŒ…, Realize 🀯.

Tristan πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›
i am the
explosion
after the fact,
i am the damage done
to a most sacred pact,
 
the resolution
to your putrid pollution—
evolving toward regression
contra-evolution
revolving backwards
in the petri dish
of dehumanization.
 
this is my station,
my holy cause—
rip off the scab;
forget the gauze.

      Thanks so much, Neville! Yes indeed...this particular treatment may sting like hell, but the infection has been festering far too long for another gentle dab and fresh dressing. Turn that cold tap on full blast, my friend! lol. πŸ§«πŸ©ΈπŸ–€πŸ™

    • sorenbarrett

      A powerful poem with graphic images and powerful words about an urgent problems. Whether about deteriorating values, increased violence or overpopulation this speaks to all. Well written my friend

      • Tristan Robert Lange

        Thank you so much, Soren! Yes, this one reaches into several festering wounds at once. Wherever humanity is being diminished, I want these words to tear away the covering. Much appreciated, my friend! πŸ§«πŸ©ΈπŸ–€πŸ™

        • Teddy.15

          Very dark bit I don't believe it for a minute you are far to sweet. πŸ–€

          • Tristan Robert Lange

            Aww, Teddy! Beneath all that putrid pollution and dehumanization, you still managed to find the sweet kid holding the scalpel. I’m clearly losing my touch! lol. πŸ§«πŸ©ΈπŸ–€πŸ™

            • Tristan Robert Lange

              All jokes aside, though, thank you for seeing me, my friend. I see you too! πŸ’œ

                • Tristan Robert Lange

                  Thanks, Norman! Sometimes the scab simply needs to be ripped off. Glad this one connected, my friend! πŸ§«πŸ©ΈπŸ–€πŸ™

                    always welcome friend

                    I'm feeling bit woozy now. I'm sure you'll send apologies that it had that effect on me. loll

                    • Tristan Robert Lange

                      My deepest apologies, Orchi! Dr. Popeye insists the spinning room is perfectly normal...but Nurse Olive has confiscated his medical license and ordered three days of bed rest with intravenous spinach. 🀣 πŸ§«πŸ©ΈπŸ–€πŸ™

                      A delightfully dark de-evolution write Tristan. Very much enjoyed.

                      • Tristan Robert Lange

                        Thank you, Syd! Sometimes the darkness is the only honest lighting for examining what humanity is becoming. I’m so glad you enjoyed this one, my friend! πŸ§«πŸ©ΈπŸ–€πŸ™

                      • Doggerel Dave

                        Feels like a goodbye or "piss off!" If the former, then please reconsider...

                        • Tristan Robert Lange

                          Much appreciated, Dave! I’m not going anywhere...though a few folks may still receive a well-earned β€œpiss off!” lol, which I suspect you will appreciate! 🀣 πŸ§«πŸ©ΈπŸ–€πŸ™

                          No antibiotics are going to heal this wound, its been open to long now.
                          It's a one way ticket to hell now, though something tells me, even hell isn't receiving.

                          • Tristan Robert Lange

                            Thanks so much, Paul! I’m afraid humanity has ignored every warning and allowed the infection to consume the patient. Now we’re standing at hell’s reception desk...and even they’re claiming there are no vacancies! lol. πŸ§«πŸ©ΈπŸ–€πŸ™
