MORE DWD OCT 8TH, 2012

MORE DWD OCT 8TH, 2012

Death with dignity was not mentioned in Trudeau’s Charter of Rights,

Therefore our politicians avoid this issue with great delight,

But our Supreme Court banned it and Sue Rodriguez had to die,

Their rule was law for all Canadians and it had to apply.

The Americans in Oregon and Washington have it now,

It’s a state issue there and doesn’t seem to cause any row,

It’s where Americans can decide when and where and how to die,

But Canadians are banned though no one really knows why.

Quebec might try to make it a provincial issue here,

Where Quebecois could look forward to death with no great fear,

So it’s obvious that this issue is not going away soon,

Unfortunately the Supreme Court is not known to change its tune.

THE NASTY UN OCT 6TH, 2012

THE NASTY UN Oct 6^th, 2012

It’s obvious the useless UN has lost its agenda,

While they allow every dictator tyrant to shout propaganda,

And not just once; they do it again and again, almost every year,

At their General Assembly that certain people revere.

When they refused to let Canada into the Security Council place

Did we complain about this nasty UN slap in the face?

Is there something wrong here that we are not allowed to see?

Who runs this strange outfit and why are we bound to agree?

Is it written somewhere that we have to do what we’re told?

Or can we just take a stand or walk out the UN front door?

Apparently not because this kind of stuff is just not done,

But they can’t halt a war in the near east that has just begun.

DIGNITY AS AN ELECTION ISSUE OCT 5TH, 2012

DIGNITY AS AN ELECTION ISSUE OCT 5^TH, 2012

The Sue Rodriguez syndrome may eventually haunt us all,

As we get closer to death and certainly not having a ball,

Because death with dignity is completely forbidden here,

The doctor, who assisted you, could go to jail and disappear.

And the government can’t change it because this is Supreme Court stuff,

They may try it in Quebec but this could be legally rough,

But I admire them for having the guts – the only province to try,

As, without death with dignity, we all get in a lineup to die.

Unfortunately our politicians tend to hide about this,

Never mention that some people have it, such as the Swiss,

But our isolated politicians are in Ottawa very far away,

They want nothing to change and please no election issue or day.

If I die and I will and I don’t know where or when or why,

And I can’t do anything about it as I wait to say goodbye,

But it would be nice to arrange the whole dying affair,

Have death with dignity, even though religious groups don’t dare.

I suppose I’m lucky, not to know when, where or why I’ll die,

And you are too so maybe we should get ready to say goodbye,

You and I and us in the photographs will soon be long gone,

We can’t plan for our untimely deaths because they say, it’s wrong.

But the Swiss and those in Oregon have death with dignity,

While in Canada; it is viewed as a forbidden disability,

I know; I  know; it’s probably a sin to plan your death,

But why suffer for years in pain and disease waiting for your last breath?

If we pulled out of the UN; who would care and who would know?

Most of the time, it appears to be no more than a game show,

Where despot dictators can put on an international display,

And pretend that they are the good guys that we should never betray.

They refused to let us into on their Security Council crowd,

Did this decision make them feel better and much more proud?

I realize all politicians want a UN appointment there,

Another reason to get away from the whole UN affair.

After being banned from their Security Council;  how low can we go?

Should we tell them we’re leaving or should we just walk away slow?

See if they even care or even know that we have gone,

The many despot dictators continuing with their UN con.

THE UN IN NEW YORK OCT 2ND 2012

THE UN IN NEW YORK OCT 2^ND 2012

JAMES BREDIN

The unstable near-east conditions of revolutions,

And building nuclear bombs where the UN has no solutions,

Where diplomatic relations are out of control to no avail,

Have we all gone mad and will this terrible attitude prevail?

Where one civil war can cause thousands to be bombed or shot dead,

And the impotent Security Council has veto-voting heads,

Pretending to be concerned about global human rights,

But not where there’s civil war and revolutionary fights.

Though they talk constantly about reform but nothing is done,

Then bow to political correctness but they’re having fun,

In a big glass fancy building in downtown New York,

Not that far away from the peaceful and beautiful Central Park.

DEATH WITH DIGNITY NOW OCT 1ST, 2012

DEATH WITH DIGNITY NOW Oct 1st, 2012

By

James Bredin

The big problem that humans have, is our approaching death,

And the appointed High Court wont allow DWD just yet,

We are stuck with the problem of how to bring about change,

Our politicians are too busy to stop what they are doing and arrange.

There is dignity in dying if it is properly planned,

But DWD is prohibited as the High Court has banned,

And our big problem is that we are all going to die,

And there is nothing we can do about it and I don’t know why.

If the Americans can have DWD in some states,

Could we have it by province or is that too much to debate?

After all, we have abortions everywhere, wall to wall,

Therefore DWD should not be illegal – not at all.
