Counterfeit Shepherd

Counterfeit shepherd, balancing measures.
Prowling defector, altruist rebel.
 
Palaces treasure, mountainous networks.
Cowardice clever, hallowing renders.
 
Townships for tenure, towering tensions.
Floundering feathers, souring scepter.
 
Callousness censures, gallows get reveled.
Hounding are hecklers, now has this severed.
 
Shrouding the pleasures, shall your endeavors.
Proud of his center, powerless fester.
 
Alchemist tester, how to tend splendor.
Scouring enters, bound until better.
 
Jouster and jester, challenging gestures.
Routing them stellar, founded in never.
 
Galloping deserts, outer realm debtor.
Mounting is specter, our best guesser.
