Guilty Unconscience

Guilt's guillotine feasts on willing hosts
Swishfalls invited at the decommissioned host's insupportable neck
Tradition says: take the coming as your sign that your sins are your spine
When your prison is your skeleton, your escape is self-negation

I heard of another way, if the hungry blade has already become your companion
First, a thought bonfire, in which your discarded logs make sparks without joy
Second, act, act, and act again; the will is trainable, given time and opportune habits
Third, leave your window shopping shame credit card at home, buy nothing more

Politics and religion and capital put headlessness to work
Guilt's guillotine feasts on willing hosts
Reaction, inaction, addiction, refraction
Miniature gods offered aspirational abnegation, never forgiveness
