Answer: Grass

Step-by-step explanation:

In the poem 'Grass' (1918), Carl Sandburg uses personification to express nature´s frustration with how easily people forget the toll of war. Their eventual disregard of those who died in war makes them unable to learn from the past to avoid repeating their mistakes. The grass eventually covers the battlefield where the dead lie, and people forget that anything has even happened.
