RIGHT TO DIE

By
James Bredin



I feel I should have the right to die when and where I want,
And disobey orders from the establishment commandant,
It doesn’t matter to me whether I go to heaven or hell,
What happens in this world is more important as you can tell.



God forbid, I should suffer from an incurable condition,
Some intolerably painful unfavorable position,
Where the doctors’ hands are tied because of our stupid ancient laws,
And I might like to die quickly and painlessly during a pause.



I hear diazepam or chloroquine could let me die on time,
But we can’t buy that stuff because right now it could be a crime,
So we need to change the rules about assisted suicide,
If we could do that, we could turn dying into an easy ride.

EUTHANASIA FOR YOU AND ME
By
James Bredin

Heaven or hell, it doesn’t matter and they’re all the same to me,
It’s how I get through death’s door because I don’t have a key,
And before you get to either heaven or hell, you have to die,
And that could be painful and long and dreadful and I don’t know why.



If we could get euthanasia, we wouldn’t have to die in pain,
But we’re not allowed to get it and there’s no where we can complain,
Our self-righteous religious types think that this is just great,
We might die in great agony and pain and no need for debate.



The Dutch, the Swiss and Americans from Oregon have this,
Though the rest of us can think about it but then dismiss,
We need some powerful politician to make the suggestion,
That euthanasia is not sinful where everyone can question.

TIED DOWN BY TRUDEAU’S CHARTER OF RIGHTS


By
James Bredin


How do we go about changing Trudeau’s left wing Charter of Rights?
Because all the crooks and terrorists have us in their sights,
They want to come here and then onto the appointed Supreme Court,
Where definitions and decisions could be in their support.



Unfortunately our establishment think the Charter is great,
And changes are strictly forbidden to come up for debate,
We look in the mirror and see the enemy looking back,
And because of Trudeau’s Charter, our future could be pitch black.



If we could make Trudeau’s Charter for Canadians alone,
Not “EVERYONE” in the world especially every combat zone,
And stop them from coming here to claim Trudeau’s Charter rights,
And then they could put some other soft country in their sights.

OUR POLITICIANS HAVE IT MADE

By
James Bredin


Politicians invariably make a lot of noise on TV,
They need to feel important and impress you and him and me,
But otherwise nothing will change in this overall bazaar,
They have it made and are staying exactly where they are.



They make very few decisions hidden in very high places,
Denied binding referendums and recall right in our faces,
No propositions or mid term elections in our frustration,
It’s still first past the post and no proportional representation.



We are not compelled to vote so few of us even bother,
We feel everything should be okay with distant big brother,
And the media never mentions that things should and could improve,
Don’t hold your breath because politicians would all disapprove.

WikiLeaks Fuss


By
James Bredin

I don’t understand all the Internet fuss about WikiLeaks,
While every journalist in town fills pages about techniques,
The establishment or someone is really upset out there,
Because someone else said or wrote what he/she thought was fair.



It was not politically correct enough for those who count,
Therefor it was a sin or a crime to be taken into account,
Was it espionage or democracy or was it just free speech?
As the debate rages on and on and will someone be impeached?



Who is the enemy these days and could it be ourselves?
Looking back from a mirror disguised as one of Santa’s elves,
You might think that the end of the world was coming very soon,
Tomorrow afternoon or at least before the next full moon.

Multiculturalism

Multiculturalism is government appeasement for them,
For fear that a majority might make a minority feel condemned,
It’s the ultimate form of political correctness and trend,
In case racism might raise its ugly head and we can’t defend.



Multiculturalism is good except as a government stance,
It helps to keep the rest of us, heads bowed down, in a mild trance,
It helps to keep an unknown number of bureaucrats employed,
It helps keep a large number of poor Canadians annoyed.



There’s got to be a better way than government edict,
Because this involves supposed human rights and imposed conflict,
It can’t be done through religion because they don’t get along,
We need someone highly intelligent to tell us what’s wrong.

Canadian Changes Forbidden


By
James Bredin

Canadian bureaucrats have it made and don’t want to change,
Entrenched up in Ottawa and forbidden to rearrange,
They are hidden in big buildings looking out from their tower,
And they stay where they are regardless of which party is in power.



It’s all too cozy with no recall or binding referendums,
Running a government on unquestioned memorandums,
Plus our politicians tend to make a lot of noise on TV,
This way they feel all important and impress you and me.



With no set-date elections they can delay their stay forever,
There is no need to change so they think they are quite clever,
Those who could tell them to change, are themselves all appointees,
They certainly don’t want to rock the boat so no changes please.
