.
Pile the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo.
.
Shovel them under and let me work—
I am the grass; I cover all.
.
And pile them high at Gettysburg.
.
And pile them high at Ypres and Verdun.
.
Shovel them under and let me work.
.
Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:
.
What place is this?
.
Where are we now?
.
I am the grass.
.
Let me work.

-Carl Sandburg, Grass

Honor and remember.
