The Disposable Horde

Wins as members keep losing.
In the stories, the heroes
Are individualized,

Slaughter the disposable,
And usually survive.
But numerically, you must

Realize you’re probably
One of the disposable,
And soon to be disposed of.

How is it there’s always more
Of the disposable kind,
The more and more of you die?

The side with the numbers wins
Since the remnant count stays high.
