The Percentages Game
When a man has a 1% chance of living,
When shot between the eyes and lives,
Two things spring to mind,
Two things stand out,
One from out of this world,
One from within this world,
Both give hope,
Both give pause for thought,
When it comes to use of percentages as a guide,
When it comes to when to not use them as a guide.
Whether you believe answers come from out of this world,
Whether you believe answers come from within this world,
Playing the percentages game can cloud ones judgement,
Playing the percentages game can cost lives,
If in playing it you lose hope,
If in playing it, you throw in the towel too soon.
