Grass by Carl Sandburg
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.
What are some reasons for the use of imperative verbs in Sandberg’s poem?

The imperative expresses the will. It's very direct like a command. In choosing this verb form, Sandburg confronts the reader and, in my opinion, really pulls her/him into the poem.
This is a very powerful anti-war poem, made even more so by using the imperative.

I think Gabriella Angel. That one's fine. I'm assuming Charisma Gage is for a female baby? Gage is typically a man's name, so I really woldn't advise using it unless she is having a boy. I don't like the name Charisma either....Maybe use Christina or Katelynn?
