Travel free my inner scapegoat You’re liberated, off this hook No more shame-horned Guilt-stomached dread, scarce enough to wrong-bare Not startle-sneezed or tremble-shook
I excise redundant remnants Bad wattle glands where crime hangs large Not Billie-blame, Nanny-regret or just a wrongless kid No fair-trial felon, biased charge
Imagine dropping heavy torts The solid clunk as fault hits floor Past carried light Kind compassion wide enough to weight-bare Rich mixed plant pasture evermore An end to serveless inner war
