W.C.T.U.?
I was curious and had to look it up.

The WCTU was organized by women who were concerned about the the destructive power of alcohol and the problems it was causing their families and society.

Slight disagreement
I have to disagree with the last line of the poem. I don't believe he wants to be 'conscience free'. I interpret 'conscience free' to mean not having a conscience. If that were the case, we could do anything, no matter how heinous, without regrets. I think he meant 'conscience free' to be the same as a clean conscience, but is being constricted by the rhyme pattern. But then again, he may think of 'conscience free' as being a conscience that has no regrets and is free from guilt. I think I'm thinking too much, but a poem that makes you think is a good poem.
