WE ARE ALL EQUAL… OCT 14TH, 2013
BY
JAMES BREDIN
We are all equal in that eventually we are all going to die,
But we don’t know when, where or for what sickly reason why,
And these are not pleasant thoughts so you put them out of your head,
It’s god who rules the world so you listen to what the preacher said.
The problem is that neither you nor I can arrange when to die,
Supreme Court - Sue Rodriguez decision and we were never told why,
Ottawa aristocrats and politicians seem to think this is great,
Preachers too, so there is definitely no need for debate.
If we had death-with-dignity, we could arrange when and how to go,
And it wouldn’t matter if the Ottawa aristocrats know,
But somehow we have no control of who or what’s going on,
They’re hiding out somewhere or maybe just having a yawn.
