Anti countable

One piece of cake, two pieces of cake
One cup of tea, two cups of tea
It is easy to count uncountables
One dog, two dogs
One cat two cats
It is easier to count countables
One worm, two worms
One bug, two bugs
I feel not easy to count those which I dislike
One work of butterfly, two works of butterflies?
No, you cannot change countable into uncountable
even if you think it is an art of nature
One gun, two guns
One knife, two knives
One person, two people
One doll, two dolls
One piece of flesh, two pieces of flesh
One piece of bone, two pieces of bone
One stream of blood, entire blood
One pack of blood to save no lives
No, you should not count countable life
Once you count them
They become one clod of insignificant
You must not count countable death
You must not count the end of a life
