NOBODY REALLY KNOWS …   MAY 21ST, 2015

Why are our politicians so reluctant to change?

And death-with-dignity must be considered illegal and strange?

Why is this issue hidden behind closed doors?

Have Canadians been told that this is something they cannot score?

Will this be an election issue or stay forever hidden?

Will it not happen because its forever forbidden?

Who is pulling the strings that has caused these events?

And why are they so extremely reluctant to relent?

For some strange reason, our politicians have been told,

The idea of death-with-dignity has to be put on hold,

Why is this never-mentioned quiet stuff, kept behind closed doors?

And if its never said or told; nobody really knows.

ARE WE IN A DILEMMA?       MAY 19TH, 2015

Death with dignity is seldom if ever mentioned in the papers,

Media moguls have decided to wait and leave it till later,

Why is it possible that such an important subject is a mystery?

Is there a connection between this and Canadian history?

Should we or could we, ask our politicians to explain this affair?

Is there some secret hidden reason that we should beware?

Five US States already have death-with-dignity now,

But for some hidden secret reason, our politicians won't allow.

The Supreme Court gave them a year to change the laws,

They haven't done it yet; maybe they have some secret cause,

Not a word spoken or published to help us out in this,

Some people who want to die have gone to see the Swiss.

If you are not interested in death-with-dignity now; you will,

Because we are all programmed to die and be stiff and still,

Therefore we have a common future in this regard,

Though this is something that politicians try to disregard.

We need politicians who will tell us what we need to hear?

Though it's death-with-dignity that they all seem to fear,

As if the subject is forbidden in and around where they meet,

And of course, this forbidden subject gives them cold feet.

Death-with-dignity seldom if ever comes up for debate,

This sinful forbidden subject is stopped at the gate,

Or swallowed by a million words here and there,

That buried the subject and they don't know where.

Indeed, you may not have heard about it until now,

Seldom if ever mentioned so can't cause a row,

Between preachers and sinners worried about suicide,

At the time of your death; hope there's a doctor on your side.

It's as if the idea of death-with-dignity can't be forgiven,

And if a province wants to buy in; they will be overridden,

And don't you dare even think about this issue,

You can't have it, so just cry some tears and use a tissue.

Preachers and politicians seem to think of it, as a sin,

Swept under the rug; you will go to hell so you can't win,

Though half of Europe and five US States have it now,

Can't be legalized here because it might cause a row.

I'm not sure who or why, the government is so opposed,

They just will not talk about this and keep their mouths closed,

Someone hidden in a building must know the answers here,

And if we don't talk about it; we have nothing to fear.

DO WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET?     May 7th, 2015

by

James Bredin

We deserve what we get from those we elect and there's nothing we can do,

As they tax and spend and travel but there's nothing there for you,

Not even death with dignity because that's against their law,

Which they will not change or rearrange because they can't see a flaw.

So go back to sleep and there's no need to weep because they want to stay,

You can walk in their parades and don't even think of moving away,

And show respect because they are right as you watch them on TV,

Though we're going to have an election soon and what will be, will be.

So turn off your computer and stop reading this kind of stuff,

Nothing can or will change because that would be too rough,

Switzerland and Oregon may have it but not you,

No death with dignity or doctor assisted death is due.

WE NEED A POWERFUL POLITICIAN...   APRIL 27TH, 2015

JAMES BREDIN

The Americans still have the death penalty -- good for them,

And they're not afraid to use it on those whom they condemned,

Canada has no death penalty -- not politically correct,

Appointed Senate stays and they're not worried about who we elect.

While some of our judges can decide on a publication ban,

Reasons unknown, hidden from the public in a hierarchal plan,

And we don't have death with dignity because that too is banned,

We have no binding referendums so nothing can be planned.

So we need some powerful politician to rewrite the constitution,

Give us back some power, referendums and maybe a solution,

We are so politically correct and appointed-senate soft,

No capital punishment or death with dignity from those aloft.

CANADIAN SENATE ... APRIL 17TH, 2015

CANADIAN SENATE         … APRIL 17TH, 2015

BY

JAMES BREDIN

We have appointed senators that stay till they're seventy five,

Few know who, or why they were appointed or if they are still alive,

Three were recently fired for fooling with the books,

It was a shock to learn that senators were behaving like crooks.

Recall could help us with stupid appointed politicians,

So that we the people would not have to tolerate their dumb ambitions,

But where do we find the man or woman to rewrite our constitution?

We could be compared to environmentalists worked up about pollution?

They won't touch death-with-dignity, binding referendums or recall,

You can ask all you want but all you will get is another stall,

And the rules for appointed senators are only now coming to light,

These have long been accepted and not supposed to give you a fright.
