4. One of the protesters I stand with every week
holds a sign with the previous weeks deaths with a big X through it with the new total below it. The same people that drive by each week have got to be impacted. I am.

As you can see from my sig line, we are doing what we can. I've been there for over a year now. I only wish more people would join us.

7. Add three more to the big pile!

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.

Carl Sandburg


Support the war - Donate a Son a daughter
The GOP working for a better America
God Bless America
