Excuses

Expressions of inadequacy

justify metered misdemeanours

and culpability is worn like a medal

in vindication's march,

wiping the slate clean.

 

Absolutions holy water

grants forgiveness

to perpetrate further infractions

within liberty's stronghold.

 

Violation becomes exempt,

disguised within mortal tower

of corruption.
