SUBJECTS NOT MENTIONED Mar 31st 2011
By
jamesbredin.com

Why is dying with dignity hidden as an election subject?
By the people we are compelled to elect and can’t suspect,
Why is binding referendums never mentioned out there?
I can see you now looking around saying, “What and Where?”



Because these subjects are kept hidden by the Ottawa elites,
They want to keep their parliamentary or Senate seats,
No proportional representation instead of first-past-the-post,
Because when three candidates ran, guess who got the most?


The opposition candidates together got more votes,
Therefore more people opposed the winner’s winning quotes,
So much for democracy when the looser is allowed to win,
And proportional representation is considered a major sin.

FEDERAL ELECTION 2011
By
jamesbredin.com

We are having a federal election at the moment but no one knows why,
Some minor disagreement in Ottawa went up in the sky,
Though they are all adamant that something needs to be done,
And each claims that they should be the one that can’t be outdone.



Proportional representation is never even mentioned out loud,
Like binding referendums, it’s all wrapped in a political cloud,
Death-with-dignity is swept under the political rug,
As each political party tries to look so righteous and smug.



Turn on your TV and listen to them talk about this and that,
Mostly about their controlled scheduled boring campaign chat,
But referendums and death-with-dignity are shut out,
Those subjects are forbidden so they refuse to talk about.

WE WAIT TO DIE Mar 29th, 2011
BY
jamesbredin.com

Our politicians in Ottawa may soon tell us what to do,
Without binding referendums, as we wait in the long tax queue,
And without dying-with-dignity clause, we also wait to die,
It could be in deadly pain and sorrow and we don’t know why.



Add to that, we are now in the middle of an election,
Death-with-dignity questions might cause them disaffection,
Because the majority of our politicians don’t have a clue,
Add that, plus, binding referendums being completely taboo.



They’ll have a celebration when they are reelected,
Maybe you’re among the half who don’t vote and not connected,
We may not have to vote but we have to eventually die,
There is no connection, they say and don’t you dare ask why.

Canadian Death with Dignity Mar 28th, 2011
By
jamesbredin.com


Death with Dignity seems to annoy those pious religious folk,
But death is in our futures and it is not a religious joke,
Physician assisted death is viewed as a major mortal sin,
Those dying in agonizing pain are not allowed to win.



You might be there in pain yourself some day, God forbid,
Though I realize that this may be extremely morbid,
But this is reality; hidden by media and politicians,
An election with no respect for us or our physicians.



Several more US states are adapting Death with Dignity now,
So there is no need for the religious to cause such a row,
There is no need for politicians and media to hide,
Eventually Death with Dignity will be adapted worldwide.

OUR NEW ELECTION
By
jamesbredin.com

This is a graphic example of no set-date elections
Small party disagreements about imposing their selections,
A three hundred million federal election for squat,
Plus Canadians don’t have to vote, believe it or not.



And proportional representation is not allowed
Though less than half vote, we are expected to feel proud
The idea of dying with dignity cannot be discussed,
It’s an appointed Supreme Court decision and no disgust.



Binding referendums are also forbidden by our aristocrats,
In their isolated high positions they claim to be democrats,
Appointed High Court allowed abortion clinics on every street,
And if we don’t get this election right, there may be a repeat.

HOW DO WE GET IT RIGHT? Mar 25th, 2011

By

jamesbredin.com

We don’t have referendums, plebiscites or mid term elections,
No propositions or proportional representation selections,
I think its time that maybe someone somewhere should complain,
Maybe set-date elections would help with this awful pain.



We have no death penalty so therefore we don’t need a death row,
Can’t get on the UN Security Council in case you don’t know,
Convicted of killing ten people but may apply for parole,
Is this an indication that we might have lost control?



We have no death penalty but many at the UN do,
We’re bound to be politically correct and can’t misconstrue,
You might wonder, who’s running this outfit, and for sure it aint you,
We need proportional representation and a new review.

POLITICIANS AND DEATH Mar 24th, 2011

By
jamesbredin.com

I’m concerned about my own eventual future death,
And the lack of political concern about my last breath,
They couldn’t care less, when or where or how we die,
This couldn’t happen to them because it doesn’t apply.



It’s all because Death With Dignity is illegal here,
Therefore our pompous politicians barely look and leer,
But I’ve got news for them; they too will eventually die,
It may even be slow, long and painful amid their loud cries.



Therefore our eventual Death With Dignity should be discussed,
And why do our politicians view this subject with disgust?
We’re having an election but parties wont talk about this,
Some states have it: Oregon, Washington and or course the Swiss.

WHAT DOES AN ELECTION MEAN?

By
jamesbredin.com


I have absolutely no influence and neither do you
No Death-With-Dignity or compulsory voting so what’s new?
We’re going to have an election that will only change some names,
But unfortunately, everything else stays exactly the same.



We don’t have referendums, plebiscites or mid term elections,
No propositions or proportional representation selections,
I think its time that maybe someone somewhere should complain,
Maybe set-date elections would help with this awful pain.



We have no death penalty either so therefore, no death row,
Banned from the UN Security Council so there, we can’t go,
Abortion death clinics on every second street are never banned,
Politically correct, never mentioned; all slight of hand.



Death with dignity and assisted suicide -- all illegal,
Try to avoid a slow painful death but you can’t and it’s legal,
If you are talking to a politician, ask him/her about this,
See if he/she can get us Death-With-Dignity like the Swiss.

Legalization of euthanasia and assisted suicide
By
jamesbredin.com

A slow painful death is the worst thing that can happen to you,
No way to escape as you wait in the agonizing queue,
Oregon, Washington and Switzerland have Death Dignity laws,
Canadian politicians see this as too many flaws.

Our appointed Supreme Court decided it can't happen here,
Therefore our obedient subservient politicians have no fears,
The subject cannot even be discussed in Parliament now,
As if this holy subject was a forbidden sacred cow,

Religious diehards want the issue to die or just go away,
We have to wait to die, they say because then, that's judgement day,
When your sins are counted and you go to heaven or hell,
Add that to your slow painful death that you cannot dispel.

WE NEED TO TALK Mar 21st, 2011
By
jamesbredin.com


Ottawa politicians and judges insulated from life,
Looking down on the peasants who may have a lot of strife,
Because of isolated decisions from faraway up there,
As though they were aristocrats and not altogether square.



No referendums or proportional representation,
No death with quiet dignity or any combination,
But lots of abortion clinics on every second street,
Holocaust of unborn babies cannot be viewed as defeat.



No compulsory voting because could that could bring about change,
It’s the first-past-the-post system that can only be arranged,
And the appointed Senate will stay appointed forever,
Because those doing the appointing are considered clever.
