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
