<span>-There are tremendous human costs in war. -The sacrifices made in war are soon forgotten.
The poem personifies grass in a way that it is covering up all of the bodies and causing people to forget important sites of battle where so many people died. In the poem it says "</span>Two years, ten years, and the passengers ask the conductor: <span> What place is this?" This shows that the grass has grown so much that the people passing by do not even recognize it, and the sacrifices people made there are being forgotten. </span>
