Do You Care?

How much spit do you have to wipe off your face? 

How many thorns do you have to remove after every curse we attach to your name? 

How many times do we have to bury you, and you come back with more grace and love? 

Every praise we give you feels like a blade piercing through the rib cage of eternity.
Twisting & grinding against the bones of peace

Looking into our eyes with the silent screams of forgiveness 
Looking legion into the eyes, screaming 
I LOVE YOU!

No Longer Legion

No Longer Legion

By Mark D. Stucky
Demons departed
via possessed pigs,
down the dusty slope,
drowning under waves,
descending into the Abyss
from which they came.

Purged of evil spirits, 
my new emptiness
echoes with His peace.
I now have so much room
to grow and go and flourish.
I want to praise that Man,
who asked me for my name,
expelled the monstrous hordes,
and calmed my anguished soul.

I’m named Legion no longer.
Now my name is solitary.
My fragmented name,
my forgotten name,
my original name,
my true name,
is one again,
now cleansed,
and healed,
and whole.


(First published in Agape Review, 3 April 2022. This poem is written from the perspective of the previously possessed man in the story of Mark 5:1-20. The accompanying image represents a man pondering the waves--under which the tormenting voices and compulsions disappeared forever--and enjoying his new peaceful solitude and possibilities. See also my poems “Jericho Roads” and “Life Labyrinths.”)

You Shall Bear Dominion

Son! You shall bear `Dominion`
The Best of Names ``if you asked my opinion 
For loudly announcing Christ’s Religion,
Besides being militarily overwhelming-A legion 
Never, therefore, to be sliced like Onion...

And your birth was our anxious ambition,
By this energized with Holy Communion...
 
Good Son already you are dominion
And shall Demons warring arms often pinion!

Legion of Doom

Legion Of Doom

It's a gloomy and dark day. The smell of 
human flesh fills the air. And it is un-
bearable. It must be Armageddon; only
three people survived this horrible day
of horror. Dr. Fitzgerald Kirkpatrick, his
wife, and his assistant. He was a re-
owned scientist; he was telling everyone 
about this dreadful event for years. How-
ever; no one believed him; they thought 
he was just some old quack that had gone 
insane.Beyond earth's realm was a legion 
of hideous creatures. They had yellow eyes,
wings, large pointy fangs, and talons.
They are the ones that caused this doom.
Humans are hated and despised by them.
So that got rid of the entire human race,
at least they thought they did. They weren't
able to see Dr. Kirkpatrick because he de-
developed a serum that made him invisible
to their kind. But the serum only lasts for 
72 hours. This is why Dr. Kirkpatrick party 
and of two are in search of a secret vault to 
remain alive; however, they were running 
out of time…………………..............................

Aretha - the Legion

Louis Rams is celebrating the Queen's birthday.

"in honor of the queen"
ARETHA - the legion
I woke up this morning with Aretha on my mind
one of the greatest singers of our time.
she started singing at a very young age
inspiring people while on stage
every song that she would sing
to many people ' tears " she'd bring.
her life will forever be told cause
she was born with a heart of gold.
at her concerts the crowds would scream and shout
till the moment she opened her mouth.
then she would pick up the Mic as ' RESPECT'
took to flight.
then she sang ' I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER "
as her voice filled the air.
her 2014 concert at the white house
gave president OBAMA chills and his spouse
when she sang Amazing Grace as the tears
rolled down her face.
( she was one of the best selling female artist in history
- with 15 million records sold worldwide )
SLEEP WELL MY SISTER

Legion

They descend into the hearts of men
like a troop
Don’t let ‘em in,
don’t let ‘em in
Or they will devour everything good within
Thousand voices of evil
hammering away at your resistance
Until they shatter your will not to yield
Leaping maniacally over the breached spirit wall,
banshee screaming coming down the hall
		of your medulla oblongata
Legion
taking up residence
Your soul now being sold on the open market
Bought yourself some new real estate
down by the fire and brimstone lake
El Diablo
is the new head honcho 
	at your neural command center
He says: heaven can wait,
being holy is so out-of-date
Guest of honor held hostage is your wretched fate
Legion
Legion of devils
Now you’re a spineless jellyfish host,
who put up a cream puff battle ...
You’re such a weak milquetoast
Got an open vacancy sign neon flashing,
letting every wayfaring foul spirit know — 
in your condemned soul inn,
		     you welcome the overflow

Chaos Legion Knight the Inner War

If the world was to collide and all ways meant of passion time

Through every tunnel light revolve the center of perfection yet to be found

To see what in the eyes of a man that indeed has the righteous found the guilty

Hands beside laughter a storm 

Friend a pal who left to won

Dreaming out loud lost in the conscience realm 

Tender a right evolve a storm link a barrel glass a stone

Sky of a search fallen of a Angelica force 

Link of colors a mist of bliss of a figure

If like mind think a like dunk and cover

Who will win.

Legion of Angels

L~egion of angels is a poetic colony of termites.
E~stablished out of a given root of love.
G~reat in vision,great in mission,great in art.
I~ndeed,they appear like ancient Greek writer's knights,
O~rganized in communion,humble as dove. 
N~o member stands aback in another's heart.

O~f all cities they've conquered at eastern Anglomore,
F~lairly enough,they continue conquesting more.

A~ngels are watering cans of blessing,
N~atty means of God's messages,
G~littery gold of priceless cost,
E~mmaculate stands their dressing.
L~egion,this colony,for all ages,
S~tand to replace all angels dost.

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 ?

Ranked 4th

The Roman Legion

Nothing has changed from three centuries ago
Men sent in masses, liberate, on with the foe
When actually the foe hides deep from within 
Leaders of countries calculate who will win

To the poor rotten soldier crippled and maimed
Fighting for liberty never knows he's been framed
Love the War not the Warrior trudge on Hero Brave
There is money in War.  Big Money. . . Still. . .  to be made!

Roman Legion

Disciplined organised and full of stout,
Marching in formation to the General's shout,
Holding their swords and weapons at the ready,
An elite told to stand steady,
For little be known for the evil this legion die to protect
A howling fills the deathly night
sends a splinted shiver of fear through brave men

Not breaking their ranks a wolf unlike a native beast
Rises up out of the darkness for it's feast,
Standing up right a werewolf pack diseased
The moment seized
A couple of soldiers fall blood stains their armour,
The bloodbath follows is a level of karma
As one by one the Legion get ripped apart,
Screaming men with amputated arms and legs
Knowing that with this enemy you can longer beg
For one bite enough to change them
Into an abominable hybrid of wolves and men

A couple of survivors loyal 
protect the general,
but little known that he was the one with the dark secret to keep,
His body contorts his eyes drop a tear like a weep,
But this is no cry and pity or comradeship,
But because he allowed himself to get bit.
He turned on the survivors who were willing to die for him,
As now he is a changed beast the disease of sin.

Fields of Garlic- Roman Legion Contest

The 10 th legion of the Roman Empire
Wondered why no matter what
The other side knew they were somewhere
Took them forever to figure out that

They marched in silence, along the way
nothing clinked  not a word spoken
Yet the men in armour were waiting there
What magic was their token

Wasn't magic you idiots of roman hue
Can't you guess why all know where your at
It's all the garlic you like to chew
They can smell you miles away in fact.

You plant fields of garlic to eat by all
Medication in its infancy
Great for healing the wounds you have
You'd have less if you listen to me

Stop chewing garlic all day long
Your breath would then surely smell fresh
Carry on the way you are
The 10th legion will get less and less



Roman soldiers ate garlic to inspire them and give them courage. Because that's what the Roman generals believed  they planted fields of garlic in the countries they conquered, believing that courage was transferred to the battlefield.

The X Legion Attack Order

From: Governor Silva, Lucias Flavius

To: Commander, Legio X "Fretensis"

The Judean slaves finally finished the assault ramp.
Order the centurions to roust the legionnaires from each camp.
Give each of your legionnaires extra water and a double ration,
Then assemble the squares and set them in motion.
The last of the defenders are cowering behind the wall.
Well before nightfall, I should expect Masada fortress to fall.
Among Eleazar Ben Yair's Zealots are Sicarii assassins,
So ensure that each prisoner taken is searched for hidden weapons.
Capture as many as you can of them to be sold for slaves;
But toss all their dead off the cliffs--don't bother digging graves.
It may still be awhile before the Tenth Legions rotates back home;
When that day comes, I'm sure Vespasian will honor you all before Rome.
