Analysis of The Suicidal Junkie
Why is life so good and so fucking bad ?
No hiatus of tranquil calm so glad
Only extreme excess of emotions
Only deep dark thoughts in deep dark oceans
Only enlightened by an offset sun
As if lateral thought brought it askew
And Estimator's bias wasn't none.
But no hiatus of calm thoughts anew
But as relentless as a roaring train
Roaring through raging tunnels of the brain
To crash into a crazed oblivion
Whilst waiting the opiate cessation
On Railway CCTV, free to view
Coming soon, at a train station near you.

About this poem
Drugs and drink have bighted Scotland for some time and needs addressed. Also, I knew someone who did commit suicide by a train. Note- Estimator's bias is the difference of expected value and true value of the parameter being estimated si if as expected then it is zero bias BUT if not then trere is a bias and in this example there is extreme bias( skewed).
