SMOKE AND MIRRORS DEC 5TH, 2014
by
JAMES BREDIN
Some people want to know the date and time that they will die,
Obviously an important date but some say it can't be planned,
Death with dignity is forbidden; though it would be grand.
Why are some so completely opposed to doctor assisted death?
It can't be planned even if you are sick and on your last breath,
The result of decision made by Supreme Court appointees,
You just can't have it; no matter how many times you say please.
Smoke and mirror political bafflegab galore,
After years and years, and it gets worse and we still don't know the score,
We don't have binding referendums so we can't change a thing,
But there's an election somewhere off in the distance; did the phone ring?
