DEATH-WITH-DIGNITY PLEASE ... MAR 8TH, 2013

DEATH-WITH-DIGNITY PLEASE … Mar 8TH 2013
By

James Bredin

Those people who reach a hundred will be dead soon enough,
It’s not their death; it’s how it happens, that can be pretty rough,
So we need death-with-dignity, which the elites trend to avoid,
Banned by the church and the courts and we have no political guide.

And our pompous media moguls will not point the proper way,
They are bought by the politically correct in what they say,
Though no one has yet figured out a way to avoid his or her death,
And the Ottawa elites will not even let us think or plan it yet.

They told poor Sue Rodriguez that she could die when she tried,
Did these judges themselves, think that they would never die?
If Switzerland and Oregon and Washington have it; why not us?
Why are we so backward and why can’t we cause a political fuss?

THE LIBERALS ARE BACK ... MAR 7TH, 2013

THE LIBERALS ARE BACK  … Mar 7^th, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

The Liberals are out of the woods again so we should watch out,

They were in power for years so we know what they were all about,

Justin is making waves and he even gets paid for just talking,

Don’t know what he says but could the Conservatives end up walking?

Unless of course we change our ways and do something good,

Death-with-dignity should be up front and not misunderstood,

Could the Liberals grab this issue and run with it instead?

Despite what the High Court told Sue Rodriguez and she wound up dead.

Maybe we should talk to Justin just to hear what he says,

Could he make this an issue and maybe go all the way?

No Ottawa elites needed with their fancy red gowns,

In appointed aristocrat positions all looking down.

PARTY BOUND ... MAR 6TH, 2013

PARTY BOUND  … MAR 6^TH, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Our Canadian politicians are very reluctant to change,

Their parties instruct them that change is too strange,

And as party politicians they can’t have an independent thought,

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

We should have an improved system where they have some independence,

And not march in lock step, completely party bound and dependant,

We should have proportional representation for those who now vote,

And compulsory voting in the future so we should take note.

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

And there has never been another way since they have been around,

But many party politicians could be compared to religious nuts,

It’s the country – not the party -- for whom they should work their buts.

THE PEDOPHILE PRIESTS' ESCAPE .. MAR 5TH, 2013

THE PEDOPHILE PRIESTS’ ESCAPE … Mar 5^th, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

The pedophile priests were not excommunicated; they changed places,

To a quiet parish far away where nobody knew their faces,

This in itself was a crime worse than the pedophile crime,

And all the hierarchy okayed this transfer at the time.

And those who knew about this conspiracy never spoke out,

Did they think that they were saintly, religious and devout?

This is a symptom that something awful went sinful and wrong,

Probably for hundreds of years and they all went along.

I’m almost ashamed to write these words, that this went on,

Is it finished yet or is it an ongoing religious con?

Has anyone gone to jail or has it been swept under the rug?

Will the cardinals, archbishops and bishops just give a shrug?

ISOLATED OTTAWA ELITES ... MAR 4TH, 2013

ISOLATED OTTAWA ELITES

BY
JAMES BREDIN
Stephen: you’re not paying much attention to us down on the ground,
Looking down from high up in Ottawa where your elite friends abound,
Where appointed senators and aristocrat judges seem to rule,
And the reason why Justin and his Liberals can once again fool.

No Canadian is allowed to schedule his or her own death,
SueRodriguez tried it and was told, “NO!” and they wouldn’t let,
States of Oregon and Washington seem to know the score,
As painful dying quiet Canadians, silently roar.

I want you to stay where you are; so Stephen, listen to me,
You need to do something profound for us to feel, once again, free,
The tide has changed as Justin and his gang are well aware,
So do something good soon so we don’t have to watch them and beware.

MALACHY ... MAR 3RD, 2013

MALACHY … Mar 3^rd, 2013

By

James Bredin

The end of Rome is soon enough according to St Malachy,

An old Irish saint whose prophecies; the hierarchy tends to hide,

He prophesized a hundred and twelve more popes from that time,

That makes for one more pope; so watch for a sign.

Or put “St Malachy” into Google to get the information,

It’s not pleasant and the whole place might be headed for damnation,

But the pedophile-priest scandal didn’t help one bit,

And many former religious people; now don’t give a shit.

CHANGE CANADIAN CONSTITUTION .. MAR 2ND, 2013

CHANGE CANADIAN CONSTITUTION… Mar 2^nd 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

We definitely need another constitutional debate,

Rewrite Trudeau’s Charter and this time get it right and get it straight,

Set-date elections and proroguing parliament issues up front,

Despite that some activists will look at this as an affront.

Death-with-dignity and binding referendums in print,

Recall of lazy politicians who just look and squint,

Judicial reviews because some judges think they are up near god,

Remember Sue Rodriguez and you might get only a few nods.

Supreme Court and parole boards should all be elected,

Canadians should be compelled to vote in general elections,

And those who don’t get fined on their next tax return,

This poem is just a small show of Canadian concern.
