Can the responses to a poem beget new life within an old soul, returning 'home'?

Question

Serenity and grace, my sword and shield;
Mindfulness and reason choose my fights.
If I understand and empathize, I yield;
Every soul on Earth has equal rights.

Mindfulness and reason choose my fights.
I bear the scars of battles I have lost.
Every person here has equal rights.
I stand for this, no matter what the cost.

I bear the scars of battles I have lost.
The ghosts of fallen allies haunt me still.
I stand for them, no matter what the cost.
Their spirits help me manifest my will.

The ghosts of fallen allies haunt me still.
Bravely they once battled by my side
Their spirits help me manifest my will.
I speak of them with reverence and pride.

The bravest souls once battled by my side;
To honor them, I protect the innocent;
I fight for them with reverence and pride.
I bear the banner of the dissident.

I honor those who protect innocents;
My enemies are those who corrupt laws.
I bear the banner of the dissident;
I gladly risk my life for the right cause.

My enemies are those who corrupt laws.
If they fail to empathize I will not yield.
I gladly give my life to the right cause;
Serenity and grace, my sword and shield.

The poem is well written LC with cogent rhyme patterns, and I like what you did with you repetitive sentences at different levels.   You are a true poet in every sense of the word.    Reminds me a bit of Sir Thomas.   Are you Dagung?     Good work milady.    Thomas

of Me of Him · Answer

standing in the reprieve
As a sounding type and duty
its harmony  by grace to the beholder
is awestruck  and God be its glory?
O that I knew its home—and stay
but cross has its croups
I lean to learn as Job, as blessing 
but still I am beholding, answer

Serenity and grace, forgot the place
...Mindfulness and reason desert me now
I bear the scars of battles yet don't retreat
...The ghosts of fallen allies wander these ruins

The bravest souls once were we 
...honoring the innocents while
......feigning our own misguided innocence
.........our enemies were mist, like lips never kissed.

YES!!!!@  You need to keep doing right ,exposing and fighting corruption.
The price is sometimes being shunned..go on home.
