THE OBITUARIES ... DEC 31ST, 2012

THE OBITUARIES   DEC 31^ST, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

The obituaries now list too many of my old friends,

So dying seems to be the way to go and the trends,

Many great people I knew for so many years are now all dead,

They seem to have died quietly and nothing much was said.

The big problem about dying is that it can’t be arranged,

Ottawa aristocrats laid down the law and no one thinks it’s strange,

And it can’t be changed because that’s something else they laid down,

The Sue Rodriguez case was once the talk of the town.

Canadians need binding referendums like the Swiss,

Something our embedded aristocrats want us to miss,

The Ottawa establishment elites want nothing to change,

Democracy is not their thing and why should that be strange?

AVOID PROSECUTION ... DEC 30TH, 2012

AVOID PROSECUTION  … DEC 30^TH, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Pedophile priests just want to avoid legal prosecution,

And no restitution, which is not part of our legal solution,

They are part of a hidden centuries-old Church conspiracy,

Established and built into the then rigid Church autocracy.

We need another Martin Luther to change sacred stuff around,

Arrest any and all pedophile priests that we have found,

This monster scandal is too big to disregard and forget,

Their apologies tend to make us even more upset.

So the pedophile-priest scandal has us climbing the walls,

As sanctimonious music in the background still calls,

We should try to avoid getting worked up about this scandal,

Avoid those with shiny vestments who tend to carry candles.

SCANDALS ... DEC 29TH, 2012

SCANDALS   … DEC 29^TH, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

These scandals; hidden for centuries by bishops and popes,

Left us in the dark in confession boxes, on the ropes,

And even now as we stare mesmerized; we don’t know what to do,

As they take off their Roman collars and say everything is new.

Hey: Maybe you can help me because I think, I’ve lost the faith,

I apologize; I didn’t realize; that there is no debate,

Maybe this poem is a sacrilege and I should be on my knees,

Beg for forgiveness; never displease and try to appease.

I’m afraid I might turn Protestant but that could be even worse,

Than those pompous pedophile Catholic priests and their curse,

But I was just a number among the billions who believed,

That those in flashy vestments could never have deceived.

THE IRISH-CANADIAN PROBLEM ... DEC 28TH, 2012

THE IRISH-CANADIAN PROBLEM …DEC 28^TH, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

The Irish have had a problem that they didn’t even know,

Centuries of pedophile priests on pulpits putting on a show,

And now that they’ve found out; the Irish are absolutely confused,

As the holy priests in their bright vestments stand among the accused.

But it seems we’ve all been cheated by these sanctimonious priests,

Roman collars and no wives as they pretended to be discreet,

There’s something very wrong here and I can’t figure it out,

How could we be fooled for so long like a group of boy scouts?

How could we, the persecuted, have been so easily led?

A mixture of history and Cromwell and ancestors shot dead,

If we were French, could we guillotine and chop off some heads?

We just can’t do that – politically correct Ottawa feds.

THOSE WHO OPPOSE ... DEC 27TH, 2012

THOSE WHO OPPOSE  … DEC 27^TH, 2012

By

James Bredin

Those who oppose assisted-suicide are quite set in their ways,

Usually good religious folk, who listen to what the preacher says,

Despite the pain and aggravation of those dying in pain,

They say, death-with-dignity should be illegal; so abstain.

Our lack of death-with-dignity shows that we really don’t rule,

Though we think we have democracy and we’re really quite cool,

But everything is rigged, and binding referendums are banned,

It’s only their agenda, so nothing changes in this great land.

Our party politicians avoid this issue like the plague,

They have their party agenda so anything else is quite vague,

If you want assisted suicide, you must go to Switzerland,

Otherwise it’s Sue Rodriguez again in this great land.

ISOLATED OTTAWA ARISTOCRATS ... DEC 26TH, 2012

ISOLATED OTTAWA ARISTOCRATS … DEC 26^TH, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Isolated arrogant aristocrats are well connected,

They are not going anywhere soon because they’re well protected,

And death-with-dignity is not on any of their programs up front,

No binding referendums or plebiscites, so you can just grunt.

You and I and all of us in photographs will soon be long gone,

We can’t plan for our untimely deaths because it’s wrong,

But the Swiss and those in Oregon are allowed to do this,

But not Canadians and the aristocrats don’t give a piss.

I know; I know; it’s probably a sin to plan your death,

But why suffer for years in pain, waiting for your last breath?

Poor Sue Rodriguez tried it and was point-blank refused,

It is very obvious that she was extremely abused.

MAYBE A DEATH-WITH-DIGNITY PLACE ... DEC 25TH, 2012

MAYBE A DEATH-WITH-DIGNITY PLACE  … DEC 25^TH, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

WE SHOULD HAVE A PLACE TO GO; WHERE WE CAN ARRANGE TO DIE,

THE ELITES OF COURSE HATE THIS ISSUE AND I DON’T KNOW WHY,

IT’S PROBABLY BECAUSE IT’S ILLEGAL BUT THEY CAN CHANGE THAT LAW,

THESE ARE NOT NEW IDEAS THAT NOBODY NEVER EVER HEARD OR SAW.

WE SHOULD HAVE PLACES WHERE WE CAN GO TO DIE WITHOUT PAIN,

UNFORTUNATELY OUR DWD ISSUE IS SUCH A DIFFICULT CAMPAIGN,

IT MAY BE BECAUSE ORGANIZED RELIGIONS ARE OPPOSED,

MAKING ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM PULPITS THAT THE ISSUE IS CLOSED.

THOUGH YOUR RELIGION PROBABLY SAYS THAT THIS IS A SIN,

BUT SIN IS EASILY AND QUICKLY FORGIVEN SO WE CAN WIN.

YOU ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE AFTER YOU DIE SO PAY ATTENTION,

IT’S BEFORE YOU DIE; THE PAIN AND SUFFERING AND PREVENTION.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

PARTY BOUND ... DEC 24TH, 2012

PARTY BOUND  … DEC 24^TH, 2012

By

James Bredin

Our Canadian politicians are reluctant to change,

They are instructed by their party that this is not strange,

Because party politicians can’t have independent thoughts,

They have to follow the party agenda and not be distraught.

We should have an improved system where they have independence,

And not march in lock step, party-bound in their party dependence,

We should have proportional representation for us, who now vote,

With compulsory voting in the future so we all take note.

Though committed party members will scream that this is not sound,

And there is no other way because they have all been around,

But many political parties could be compared to religious cults,

It’s the party – not the country – they want to improve and get results.

MAYBE A DEATH-WITH-DIGNITY PLACE ... DEC 23RD, 2012

MAYBE A DEATH-WITH-DIGNITY PLACE   … DEC 23^RD, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

We should have a place to go where we can arrange to die,

Our elites of course, hate this notion and I don’t know why,

It’s probably because it’s illegal but they can change that law,

These are not new ideas that nobody ever heard of or saw.

These would be establishments where we can go to die without pain,

Part of the health scheme – death-with-dignity – and a new campaign,

But all organized religions are completely opposed,

Preaching announcements from pulpits that this issue is closed.

Even if your religion may have said that this issue was a sin,

But sin can be easily forgiven and we can go ahead and still win,

And this would be a painless way to die so pay close attention,

Everyone really knows that this is true and not some pretention.
