NO NEED FOR A FENCE   …  Jul 31th, 2014
BY
JAMES BREDIN

The UN should have an agenda for areas that are tense,
To teach the folk to forget differences so they don't need a fence,
Rewrite their history so that complacency can be accepted,
Adapt to one another so that hatred can be intercepted.

Lower the religious hold or change it around just to get along,
Do it one way or another even with a traditional or folk song,
These ideas opposed by all religious pastors and priests,
Because ongoing religious strife is the reason they have feasts.

We could get rid of a lot of controversy if we went this route,
But the establishment wants to give my new ideas the boot,
The UN should realize that this is what they are up against,
And if they do it right, we/they might not need a fence.

WAR DOES NOT APPEAL …  JULY 26TH, 2014
BY
JAMES BREDIN

War does not appeal to me in any way shape or form,
But history shows that wars have always been the norm,
There has to be  a better way to prevent human slaughter,
Some people or religions seem to want war come hell or high water.


I thought the United Nations was formed to solve this type of disorder,
They seem helpless here too like any national court order,
Someone should come up with a better system that compels folk to talk,
And keep on talking and talking and do nothing more than gawk.


The idea of peace should be part of world wide education,
That means everywhere -- every big and tiny religion and nation,
The UN  should realize that this is their big opportunity,
Lessons about peace where no one or religion has immunity.

WAY TO GO …    July 25th, 2014
by
James Bredin


Binding referendums and compulsory voting, would put us there,
But less than half of us vote and not interested in our affairs,
If we had medically assisted death we could avoid dying in pain,
Quebec has it already so they have no great reason to complain.



But we have appointed senators that stay till they're seventy five,
No one knows why they were appointed of if they are still alive,
And we can't get rid of these senators unless they retire or die,
Or maybe cause a scandal and the PM says bye bye.



Recall would be good for all our pompous politicians,
So that we the people don't have to tolerate their stupid ambitions,
But where do we find the man or woman to rewrite our constitution?
Compulsory referendums added to Trudeau’s Charter -- solution.

MORE MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT   … July 24th, 2014
BY
JAMES BREDIN

Members of Parliament should be allowed certain independence, 
Instead of being in lock step and completely party dependent,
We need binding referendums and compulsory voting days,
And medically assisted death without constant delays.

The arrangement of an appointed Senate should be abolished,
Elect senators instead of just having the place demolished,
Tell those appointed until they are seventy five, to stay home,
Tell new elected Senators to stick to business and no need to roam.

These ideas are democratic though disliked by those in power,
They want to continue looking down from their ivory tower,
We could do it if we could find someone to rewrite the constitution,
Get the Queen to sign it and that could be our solution.

BINDING REFERENDUMS SOON PLEASE   … JULY 22ND, 2014
BY
JAMES BREDIN

If New Zealand and Switzerland have referendums; why can't we?
Could someone ask this question in Parliament and could they agree?
Why is death-with-dignity never mentioned as though it is banned?
Is there some hidden rule about this somewhere and everything is planned?


Is it possible to get recall of senators or politicians?
Or is it only hidden party stuff that's allowed in these conditions?
Could we have elections every two years instead of five?
Could we get compulsive voting for democracy to survive?


I know.  I know.  You are too busy to be involved in this stuff,
And our present politicians believe that our situation is not rough,
How do we tell our politicians that we need referendums soon?
And soon enough, we'll all be dead and no one is immune.

TWENTY FORTY TWO  … JULY 15TH, 2014
BY
JAMES BREDIN

I would like to die on Christmas Day in twenty forty two,
And my intelligent wife to be still with me then too,
Surely we'll have death with dignity by then for all of us, 
But even now, the politically correct don't want to discuss.


I realize of course that this is not likely to happen but it could,
I would be a hundred and five by then and it could be good,
With enough good health and good luck, I might get there,
Nothing much can be done about this so no need to despair.


If Quebec and ten US States have death with dignity; why not us?
Then it gets worse because we're not even allowed to cause a fuss,
And we don't know how or where or when or if we will die,
But it will happen eventually even if we don't know why.

MEDICALLY ASSISTED DEATH ... JULY 13TH, 2014

MEDICALLY ASSISTED DEATH … July 13th, 2014
BY
JAMES BREDIN

Medically assisted death is banned by our elite Supreme Court,
Not listed in Pierre Trudeau's Charter so there is no support,
When they refused Sue Rodriguez her death with dignity,
And the establishment thought it was all done brilliantly.


Without referendums or recall, Canadians are in stress,
And those who were dying in pain think it's is a real mess,
This is not a subject that is discussed by politicians,
They are strict party types and obey party conditions.


Even media moguls seldom mention this subject in their papers,
Maybe they think that this might upset the neighbours?
Subject seldom spoken, though six US states and Quebec have it now,
Quebec has Bill 52 but we're still forbidden and not allowed

MEDICALLY ASSISTED DEATH BANNED     …. JULY 10TH, 2014
BY
JAMES AULD

Medically assisted death has been banned by Canadians in power
Although this might make extremely sick people feel quite sour
And we only have elections maybe every five years,
And those who are dying in severe pain, have certain fears.


Therefore we can't change our politicians often enough,
And without binding referendums; this can be pretty rough,
We can't get it through their heads that we need change and soon,
And we don't want to have to wait forever till the next blue moon.


This subject is probably banned in parliament and high places,
It was never mentioned except in one of Sue Rodriguez's cases,
Why can't Canadians bring these changes about?
Why do we have politicians who refuse and are never in doubt?

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?    … JULY 5TH, 2014
BY
JAMES BREDIN

I am dumbfounded by the number of my old comrades who are dead,
Because I remember almost every word that they ever said,
We are all merely observers as time and events pass us by,
Caught in our own history and then suddenly, its goodbye.


And we can't  prevent the dying no matter what we do,
And we can't get death with dignity though I thought you knew,
But it would be good to get control of our political affairs,
Get some democracy and more justice if someone cares.


But our politicians behave as if we don't exist,
And less than half of us vote so we may have missed,
And every religion is opposed to death with dignity as if it is a sin,
But you didn't know; so where have you been?

OUR POLITICIANS WANT TO STAY     … JULY 4TH, 2014
BY
JAMES BREDIN


Political parties avoid medically-assisted death,
Most religions, organizations and churches too, to our regret,
But half of Europe, Quebec and seven US States have it now,
Still forbidden in Ottawa because it might cause a row.


Why do we know about these changes but can’t bring them about?
Why do we have politicians who refuse and are never in doubt?
Is it their party that tells them what to think and say and do?
Is that because they are obedient or don't have a clue?


Things not said are often more important than what is said,
This is why death-with-dignity is an issue they want to put to bed,
And those concerned about their deaths, should just shut up and go away,
Don't make an issue out of this  because politicians want to stay.

CAN WE DO IT?   … JULY 2ND, 2014
BY
JAMES BREDIN

How do we get rid of lifetime establishment Senate appointees?
Is it necessary to rewrite the Charter-Constitution please?
How do we get medically assisted death despite the opposition?
Silent political parties, churches, religious leaders with ambition.


How do we get binding referendums and independent politicians?
How do we get compulsory votes in these Ottawa conditions?
And half of Europe, Quebec and seven US States have it now.
That's death with dignity that tends to cause an awful row.


Who can we get to rewrite the Charter and do it soon?
And not postpone it again and again till the next blue moon.
Give all Canadians death with dignity and please before I die,
If we had binding referendums; I wouldn't have to ask why.

POLITICAL FREETHOUGHT … JULY 1ST, 2014
BY
JAMES BREDIN

Quebec has it; five US States have it but we don't have it yet,
Ottawa will not allow us medically assisted death,
Though I know and you know that eventually it may come,
But why are we still treated like some homeless bums?


Because Ottawa is up north somewhere very far away,
Where politicians and appointees go and want to stay,
Where political parties like old time religions seem to thrive,
Where medically assisted death is forbidden by appointees up high.


Is it the various political parties that will not allow free thought?
And disciplined politicians have all been bought and told and taught?
We need independent politicians, binding referendums and more,
Change Trudeau's Charter accordingly and we will all score.
