Answer:

Carl Sandburg's poem “Grass” is an unusual war poem in that it personifies grass. In the personification, the grass directly addresses the reader, placing the human perspective to the side. For example, Sandburg writes, “Pile the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo. / Shovel them under and let me work -- / I am the grass; I cover all.” Grass, like human beings, is abundant, and from the perspective of grass, human life seems unimportant, and is therefore dismissed. This personification acts as a metaphor for how humans are treated in war.
