IS THIS YOU? SEPT 18TH, 2012

IS THIS YOU? SEPT 18^TH, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

You may have a chance between dying with chemo or cancer,

Not a nice question, I know, so no need to come up with an answer,

Because in Canada, you are not allowed death with dignity,

Let’s hope that your future does not have this indignity.

The lady dying of Lou Gehrig’s disease asked but was forbidden,

Was refused by appointees whose decisions can’t be overridden,

Therefore Canadians are forbidden death with dignity,

A graphic lack of democracy and all done instantly.

And when a problem arrives, it cannot be recognized,

Because everything is perfect and you didn’t even realize,

And those who want death with dignity will have to go away,

Referendums are forbidden too but aristocrats can stay.

DAMNED CANADIAN DEMOCRACY SEPT 17TH, 2012

DAMNED CANADIAN DEMOCRACY SEPT 17^TH, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Democracy involves elections in case you didn’t know,

So appointing unknowns to the Senate is nothing but a floorshow,

And why can’t this democratic illusion be altered or changed?

Ask anyone and everyone and it cannot be rearranged.

So Canadians are caught between a rock and a hard place,

And we can’t change Trudeau’s Charter of Rights or have it displaced,

And then it gets worse because no one seems to know what to do,

We need strong democratic leadership to push our way through.

We need referendums and death with dignity very soon,

To even mention these changes, is considered inopportune,

I can only imagine what separatists say about this,

But I don’t understand a word in French so I have to miss.

WHAT DEMOCRACY? SEPT 16TH, 2012

What Democracy? Sept 16^th, 2012

By

James Bredin

Media moguls announce our democracy every day,

It’s only natural because this is Canada, they say,

Even though we’re not allowed to elect someone to our Senate,

So much for our democracy on our Canadian planet.

And appointees to the Supreme Court come from a secret list,

So secret that we are forbidden to read, help or assist,

And death with dignity is completely and utterly forbidden,

They did it to Sue Rodriguez and the reasons were hidden.

We have no recall for drunken or idiot politicians,

These aristocrats can’t be recalled because of their positions,

Therefore they want to maintain the political status quo,

So much for our democracy in this political game show.

THINGS WE DON'T HAVE SEPT 15TH, 2012

THINGS WE DON’T HAVE SEPT 15TH, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

If we have a useless politician that we would rather, go away,

We don’t have recall even if they do nothing but stay,

We can’t elect our High Court or prime minister by name,

And nothing can be changed and we can’t or don’t dare complain.

And death with dignity is banned and never-never allowed,

By our secret-list appointed high-up Supreme Court crowd,

Sue Rodriguez got the word, with fatal Lou Gehrig’s disease,

She was, point blank, refused death with dignity if you please.

We don’t have set-date elections so we really don’t know,

What and when is in our future, so we learn to kowtow,

We can’t put an oil pipe across the Rockies for some reason,

Am I missing something here or is it not the right season?

STEPHEN Sept 14^th, 2012

By

James Bredin

Prime Minister Stephen Harper, please bring about some change,

Or you might be remembered like Joe Clark and why is that strange?

Because like him, the system remains more or less the same,

Counting lots of appointees from secret lists with added names.

So Stephen, I know, you’re up against it but please, at least try,

Or without much dignity, many of us will get sick and die,

And binding referendums, like the Swiss, would be great,

Set-date elections would be good too and no need for a great debate.

And while you’re at it, completely cancel the parole board,

They are setting  murderers and others free who have scored,

Okay, we need a new Constitution to get these changes,

Ask our friends, who, how, when for these changed arrangements.

FORBIDDEN REFERENDUMS SEPT 13TH, 2012

FORBIDDEN REFERENDUMS SEPT 13^TH, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Binding referendums are the flashpoint for our change.

Why are they so difficult to arrange and why is this so strange?

Why do our appointees and politicians just smile and walk away?

Why are media moguls so careful in what they write and say?

Why are binding referendums and death with dignity denied?

Just like what they did to Sue Rodriguez and then she cried,

Something is really wrong and we are not allowed to put it right,

So much for our so-called democracy; completely out of sight.

They say it’s all because of the Constitution, so no solution,

Appoint their friends to the Senate to improve the distribution,

But Ottawa aristocrats despise referendums of any kind,

It could interfere with their lavish lifestyle and peace of mind.

PERMISSION TO DIE SEPT 12TH, 2012

PERMISSION TO DIE SEPT 12^TH, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

I’d like to avoid dying in severe agony and pain,

Looking at spots in the ceiling and listening to the rain,

But this is what our appointed Supreme Court imposed on us to do,

They did it to very sick Sue Rodriguez and to you too.

Death with dignity is completely forbidden here and now,

They allowed the drug-addict Insite clinic open but death not allowed,

We should not need to go to court for permission to die,

To have some high court judge refuse while looking you in the eye.

If we had binding referendums, we could change the result,

Dying with dignity would be normal and not an insult,

Persons with painful or cancerous diseases should have permission,

For euthanasia after consultation with their physician.
