The Roman Legion

Synonymous of The Roman legion,
Is strength and patriotism,
Courage put to swords!

Determined bloodshed, belligerent war,
Humanity stands the gaff,
Victory or failure ?

I like how you questioned its value. I think the romans were often too brutal and they certainly had a great decline. I like this .

I admire how intelligently you address the ethics and meaning of the Legion's motivations Upma. I think of the great aphorism, " might makes right ". J.A.B.

Hmmm...this is a different take; you give your own 'dressing' to the theme. Short but expressive. Congrats on a worthy win. // paul
