The verbs depict the grass as dominant and dynamic. “Pile” and “shovel” appear more grotesque in the context of this poem causing the grass to appear as relentless and careless as if it feels no sympathy for the amount of bodies it lays over. Humans are incapable of learning from their mistakes to ensure they do not happen again. Due to this, grass will always grow covering those atrocities. This inevitability is a consistency that humans do not think about when planning where to fight. They do not imagine that what they are fighting over will end the same way it did battle and battle before
