Guilt

The guilt is free.

Its encasement shudders,

Wondering whence it came,

Or what works it reaps.

Guilt:

Judgmental harvester of past decay,

Tilling famine,

With gloomy insistence,

And stalwart endurance.

Guilt:

Stocky interloper of conditioned sound,

Blaring criticism,

Through a million megaphones.

Guilt:

Every tyrant’s blooded weapon,

Every despot’s accusing bedfellow.

Guilt:

When will you give me peace?
