6. More blood, more piles.......

~~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.
