Decimation by Tony Whitaker
A formation stands
In sullen silence
Every soldier knows the code
As the Centurion eyes the legion’s lines
One to TEN
An Aide counts the men
A soldier/father/son still knows
What historic fate awaits
Imperium Romanum motivation
The battle lost the only notion
Ensuring their best
-Decimation
