Trimmed Tongue Atonement

Menace intends to mow
         Ruthless slices stem renegades
         Remnants flap erratic, 
         Resilience remains unafraid 

          Virtuous dispose overgrown 
          Scorn of manicurist imbalanced
          Courage operates alone 
          Realisation spurred by challenge

         City's mesh messiness
         Accepts intended bedlam mosaic change
         Faceted shadow corners glint
         Light slides, vertical snake rearrange

          Cult harbingers cut opposers 
          Whip and snip straight edges
          Goaded by nurtured clones
          Rebel dispels lectures

         Scope stacks psyches intermingled 
         Hand clasp members hope 
         Allegiance tucks members beneath wing 
         Anonymous chase, utopia

Resilience and Courage always operate alone and they both remain "unafraid". How well penned this is! It is a masterpiece.

It's very touching that you messaged regarding this. I'm grateful to know it makes sense. ! Best Regards to you, Caren
