Statistics
In the human equation,
life's reduced to statistics.
It's the patterns that matter,
zero or one: on or off.
Confronting indifference,
fear festers into anger.
And gnawing pangs of hunger
force the soul to question sin.
Though lechery deals in flesh,
Hypocrisy sets the price.
As a substitute for love,
Lust is an expensive dish.
Reality demeans dreams
while embracing fantasy.
And reveals encrypted truths
waiting to be deciphered.
Genetically linked: we're
individually cast.
Yet, our programmable lives,
are governed by statistics.
