As...

The numbers pile up as the collective conscience is numbed;
The vultures come flying around as the countless holes on the ground;
One day it will all be forgotten as were the many human wars between Men or against something of the Other... But right now, millions of people, like you and I, have to mourn the friends, family and human fellows that sudden and increasingly have been falling, while at the same time be grateful for the ones who are still alive and well. 
This is what we humans do our whole lives: mourn and celebrate, and in between count the wins and losses to make sure that we've experienced it all fully till we could.
