Her only son killed
A Lakeview soldier died Tuesday in Baghdad after an explosive device detonated on his patrol

Spc. Lance S. Sage, an only son from Lakeview who dreamed that the Army would take him to far-off places, was killed in Baghdad Tuesday when an improvised explosive device detonated while he was on patrol, the Department of Defense reported Wednesday. Sage, 26, of the Fourth Infantry Division based in Fort Hood, Texas, had been in Iraq for only a month, said his mother, Alice F. Jones, 67. She last heard from him on Thanksgiving, four days before he deployed.


Sage is the 16th Long Island serviceman to be killed in Iraq since the war began. The Department of Defense released few details of Sage's death Wednesday, saying only that he and Pvt. Joshua M. Morberg, 20, of Sparks, Nev., had dismounted from their patrol when an improvised explosive device detonated and killed them.

9. Pile one more on the heap of dead bodies sez junior

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.
