1. Another young life....sigh.....

2. This young woman is the same age as my children

And the college students I teach.

That makes me cry. So young. :cry:

And to watch Bush belligerently defending his crimes at the press conference the other day made me sick with rage.

3. RIP.

4. I wonder if she was killed to cover up a crime

...I feel so sorry for young women serving over there right now, it has to be a prison like environment.

6. Pile em high'

Grass Bush

Pile the bodies high in Austerlitz and Waterloo Iraq
Shovel them under and let me work--
I am the grass; bush; I cover all.

And pile them high in Gettyburg Baghdad
And pile them high in Ypres and Vedum Mossoul and Al Fallaujah

Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:
What place is this?

I am the grass bush.
Let me work.
