Statistically Inclined Mind

Encountering an avalanche
As I climb up the Everest mountain
Drowning in a whirlpool
As I dive into the Pacific ocean
Losing way in darkness
As I wander in the forests of Amazon
I'm unafraid and calm
As probability is nil that these ever happen

In the ailments
To which I'm statistically disposed
No hope and solace
As god is statistically insignificant
My probability values
With people around so I calculate

Every heart attack
that I come across
Every diabetic
that happen to know
I silently thank
the victims of my age
For they sacrifice themselves
to reduce my chances
of being part of the percentage
