Children Forever
Tiny hands that clutch and cling, Eyes that sparkle, dreams take wing. Laughter light, a tinkling chime, Souls untouched by hands of time.

Paul StewartPublished 6 months ago in PoetsLegion
We are Legion. We stand together, never alone. We crossed the Rubicon to conquer tyrannical Rome. We hammer the nails into the crosses of our enemies. Everyday is a battle where we fight to the death. We are warriors. We never fail, never fall. Killing machines, we see in the dark. We travel far and wide, prepared to defeat those who doubt us. To hell with the barbarians. We are Legion, powerful and strong. We unleash our fury. We are the victorious. We are the bloody executioners. We have come to endure. We have come to eliminate. Soldiers of war, the battles we fight that no one sees. We are one and nothing can strip of us of that. There's no where else left to roam. There's no one else left to defeat. Anywhere else, we've already been. There's nothing left to do but be brave.
