They
accused him of
a high crime
treason
murder
or plagiarism
I think
something warranting
harsh punishment
and yes
after hearing
all the testimony
it was clear
he was guilty
with
extenuating circumstances
no one having said
he was a saint
or
if they did
they now see
that was a mistake
the entire matter
settled
out of court
to the satisfaction
of those
most concerned
another piece
in the puzzle
of creation
falling
noisily into place.
