GETTING CLOSER TO YOUR DEATH … AUG 31ST, 2013

BY
JAMES BREDIN

The problem becomes more apparent as you get closer to your death,
With age, and pain, and stress and anxiety and the shortage of breath,
But the preachers on the pulpits say that everything is okay,
You wouldn’t want you to commit a mortal sin or go astray.




Death-with-dignity will eventually be the painless way to go,
Especially in our health plan where it will not cost much dough,
But how do we get our politicians to pay attention now? 
Because neither those elected or appointed will allow.





If you are at death’s door; it may cause a certain anxiety,
But our Senate has their own ideas hidden in high society,
They want nothing to change, so no referendums please.
No death-with-dignity for you, no matter what your disease.

CHANGE THE SENATE ... AUG 30TH, 2013

CHANGE THE SENATE   AUG 30TH, 2013

BY
JAMES BREDIN

Can we adapt and change the Senate in another direction?
Or would whoever pulls the strings, pull another objection?
Because if they could pass a death-with-dignity law; we’re in
Wouldn’t have to continue in our ongoing embarasment and chagrin.




And the adopted Senate could justify it’s existence,
Death-with-dignity finally passed because of our persistence,
We might finally celebrate the fact that they exist,
And they could then stay there forever; make changes and persist.




But somewhere in the background I can see a political hand,
Trying to ensure that death-with-dignity is banned,
And set-date elections and binding referendums all gone too,
It was just a thought I had about our Senate -- long overdue.

CANADIANS CAN’T DIE ON SCHEDULE… Aug 29th, 2013
BY
JAMES BREDIN


Elite Canadian aristocrats encamped way up there,
Maybe senators or politicians but we are barely aware,
That and they remain completely silent on death-with-dignity,
As party members; they don’t and can’t have the audacity.




Because party members get their instructions from high above,
They can’t show feelings other than political party love,
Therefore they are never never allowed an independent thought,
And they don’t know or realize that they have been sold and bought.




Where death-with-dignity is a forbidden subject all around,
Can’t be spoken or mentioned or whispered so cool down,
Without referendums; it is not likely to come up for attention,
Neither is democracy; set-date elections or ... did I mention?

PAULINE IN QUEBEC ... AUG 28TH, 2013

PAULINE IN QUEBEC  … Aug 28th, 2013
BY
JAMES BREDIN

If Pauline in Quebec can get death-with-dignity, why can’t we?
It’s  obvious we need to change something as far as we can see,
But Sue Rodriguez was told by the Supreme Court; she couldn’t die,
There’s something wrong here too but no one bothered to ask why.





Ottawa politicians behave as if this issue does not exist,
Why don’t you go away and shut up and please don’t persist,
It’s as if this subject is forbidden and can’t be spoken or mentioned,
Please shut up again or you are liable to cause some tension.





Because people are reluctant to talk about the time they will die,
They’d like to delay as long as possible, that final goodbye,
Especially if it’s going to involve suffering and pain,
If DWD could be arranged though; it would be a big gain.

LEGAL ASSISTED SUIIDE ... AUG 27TH, 2013

LEGAL ASSISTED SUICIDE … AUG 27TH, 2013

BY

The Quebec Government recently tabled Bill Fifty Two,
It’s the first DWD bill in Canada and  it’s way overdue,
Pauline Marois is the first politician in Canada with guts,
While other politicians hide out and refuse to discuss.




While those on pulpits in fancy vestments call it a mortal sin,
Is that why our politicians are silent and quietly grin?
Though the Quebec Government got a standing ovation for this,
Our politicians and appointees just seem to dismiss.




Medically assisted suicide should be legal in this land,
We should thank those in Quebec as we try to follow their band.
Why is it that Quebec can get their Bill Fifty Two and we can’t
Have we all been dominated by some religious rant?

LET'S DO IT … Aug 26th, 2013
BY

If we ask; the Queen will allow us to change the Constitution,
But maybe we don’t need to, for a death-with-dignity solution,
Write the law and pass it in Parliament or the appointed Senate,
Though religious pulpit folk will call this solution a menace.




The  people in Quebec may have DWD soon but not here,
We are too busy in the Pride parade and deleting e-mails out of fear,
The self confidence of some elitists is hard to believe,
As they try to avoid assisted suicide while we grieve.




The pulpit folk say that suicide is a major mortal sin,
We might therefore burn in hell and we can never win,
But they already have it in Switzerland and four US states,
If Quebec gets it; we should too so we need to debate.

DEMOCRACY OR WHAT?... AUG 25TH, 2013
BY
JAMES BREDIN


Why does it seem; we should have more control of our politicians?
Because they act like elite aristocrats above suspicions,
Why are our senators appointed for life or seventy five?
How did they get there secretly and did they have to connive?




Where should I go to apply for a Senate position?
I might be too old and stupid but I still have some ambition,
Could our Senate handle a death-with-dignity clause?
Because the others are afraid so no one gets applause.




Why do I get the opinion, they avoid this subject like the plague?
Or if they answer a question; it is extremely vague,
Is this democracy or dictatorship or should we have to ask?
No set-date elections, DWD, referendums or up to the task.

WANT TO BE A CANADIAN SENATOR… AUG 24TH, 2013
BY
JAMES BREDIN

How does one apply to be an appointed senator for life?
Permanent job with high fancy title good pay and no strife,
All done in Ottawa close to hundreds of elite fancy friends,
Not like the low-life politicians going around the bends.




Don’t have to be voted in or justify your existence,
This is where the media moguls are all kept at a distance,
Good till you turn seventy five and maybe much much more,
Who do I need to see to get in that secret Senate door?




But an auditor found that some were fooling with the books,
Those travel expenses where only senators should look,
And they caused a fuss and the public got involved,
If they delete all the e-mails, will everything be solved?

INSITE CLINICS ARRIVED ... AUG 23RD, 2013
BY
JAMES BREDIN

The Insite clinics for drug addicts shows that the riffraff have arrived,
They have established themselves and none of them feel deprived,
And they want to spread their drug culture here and there and all about,
And their illegal drugs should be free and no one should have a doubt.




They got established in Vancouver but now they want here and there,
The drug dealers on the street are busy and the cops don’t seem to care,
The politically correct activists think this is great,
This subject and DWD will never come up for political debate.




The political activists will have another meeting soon,
Certain media moguls think this is a great opportune,
Catering to illegal drug users as though they are elites,
And the wheeling and dealing right there on the streets.

DWD ONE WAY OR THE OTHER … AUG 22ND, 2013
BY

DWD has caused only silence from our prime minister,
For such an important subject; I find this a little sinister,
As  if this is not important so please just go away,
Sorry prime minister but death-with-dignity is here to stay.





Should we show more respect to the prime minister’s appointees?
The same aristocrats who gave us Mulroney’s GST,
Are senators too high on the social ladder to be charged?
But their honourable legal titles and egos are quite large.





They say that Pauline in Quebec will have death-with-dignity soon,
That’s ironic and without a referendum on any afternoon,
Could we go to Quebec, and get it, if they get it before us?
Please tell Pauline to write us in, and don’t cause a legal fuss,

ISOLATED OTTAWA ARISTOCRATS…  Aug 21st, 2013
By



The isolated Ottawa aristocrats are not here,
They’re far away up in Ottawa so we have nothing to fear,
Should we show them more respect despite all the scandals that we read?
Or should we lie low despite the audit and pay them no heed?





But that’s what they want and please, no checking -- mounties involved,
And no need to have this audit or their travel expences solved,
But are these high aristocrats way above the law?
With senate titles until they are seventy five but is that a flaw?





Canada has this big problem that we are reluctant to admit,
It’s the hundreds of appointed senators that never have to quit,
And no one seems to know how to fix the Constitution,
Can’t be done, they say, and it might cause pollution.
