Charter Rights and free convicts
By
James Bredin

Is Ottawa now dominated by a very strange group?
An army of bureaucrats and we're just left out of the loop,
As they let prisoners out of the pen on a constant basis,
We can't complain or they'll call us prejudiced or racists.

And we're not allowed to know that con's jail-house history,
At their parole board hearings this has to be a mystery,
It's all politically correct and you are forbidden to ask,
Bureaucrats must love these pompous disagreeable jail-house tasks.

These are surely the symptoms of a very sick society,
And it's worse that we're not allowed to notice the impropriety,
Politically correct to the point that we are very sick,
This is extremely strange but unfortunately, it's not a trick.
