In the field of public health, infant mortality is a commonly used statistical measure that is defined as the ratio of infant deaths to live births.
Traditionally, the most common cause worldwide was dehydration from diarrhea, however a variety of programs combating this problem have decreased the rate of children dying from dehydration. As a result, the most common cause is now pneumonia. Other major causes of infant mortality include: malnutrition, malaria, congenital malformation, infection and SIDS.
In reliability engineering, "infant mortality" is the failures that occur in the first part of the bathtub curve.
The most widely used definition of Infant mortality rate (IMR) is the number of deaths of babies under one year of age per 1,000 live births. The rate in a given region, therefore, is the total number of newborns dying under one year of age divided by the total number of live births during the year, then all multiplied by 1,000. The infant mortality rate is also called the infant death rate (per 1,000 live births).
Normalicy in threat evermore
Taken apart within the mental core
By ones who walk the wounded land
Uncanny destiny so damned
Mortal eccentricity
Overrule the weird in alacrity
Contradiction tragedy pays
Immortal, shallow, fearless and empty ways
Following a hollow Grail
Men from nowhere shall prevail
Now oblivion waits
Horrendous earth raped eternal
Men from nowhere
Look through their minds eye
What do you see?
A rigid life, indefinitely
Innumerable victims
Cry in vain
Disintegrate in residual pain
Perished shrouded terror
Targets uncertainty
Hunt carries on
Gains predictability
Touched by the dead
A pre-determined soul
Final abnormality
Sounding on in a lifeless death toll
Tine's a way for them to waste
Our existence bloom
Strive for sanity
Amentia's doom
Normality obscured within
Hideous errors rapidly erased
New open wound has embowelled
Remains enraged
No stranger men have walked the earth
In such a lucid form
Victimise abnomalies
And defecating norm
Afraid to die a second time
So living in fear
Enforcing strange supremacy
Until their vision's clear
Men from nowhere
