PAROLE BOARDS AND OTHER PLACES

DOOMED CANADIAN DEMOCRACY Aug 11th, 2012
Democracy depends on
elections to make it work,
Elections depend on
participation -- not a few dorks,
Established politicians
depend on their party to get them there,
Reason why less than
half Canadians get involved in this affair.
So there’s something
wrong and we should sit down and figure out,
Maybe mandatory voting
would establish some clout,
Maybe voting for senators
and High Court judges would help,
But would appointees to
the courts and Parole Boards scream and yelp?
Because Parole Boards
tend to let many criminals out of jail,
Maybe murderers,
rapists or those who couldn’t make bail,
Turning our already soft
justice system into complete junk,
While our so-called
Charter democracy smells like a skunk.
