WE WILL EVENTUALLY DIE OCT 12^TH, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Isolated independent Ottawa aristocrats up there,

Don’t know or care about death with dignity anywhere,

It’s not on their agenda, so please, you can’t interfere,

Their bought media moguls will tell you that there’s nothing to fear.

And if you are sick and going to die, they couldn’t care less,

They really don’t want to know because it might depress,

Your provincial health care system should look after you,

And if you are lucky enough, you just might even pull through.

But death with dignity should be an up-front national cause,

While those organized and opposed are waiting for their applause,

Are these the same folk who love abortion death clinics here and there?

And those of us who want death with dignity, don’t have a prayer.

DEATH WITH DIGNITY PLEASE OCT 11TH, 2012

Death with dignity please Oct 11^th, 2012

By

James Bredin

The death with dignity issue is an example of no fuss,

And how isolated our Ottawa politicians are from us,

They just wont touch the subject though people are dying all around,

It must be their political agenda and they win hands down.

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

Have death with dignity, even though some don’t seem to care,

Maybe they think that they themselves will never never die,

Because they are aristocrats in Ottawa, somewhere up high.

I’m going to die but I don’t know when, where, how or why,

And someday you are too, so we better now say goodbye,

And hope we don’t get the Sue Rodriguez treatment before we go,

And nothing has changed though that was many many years ago.

NEW LEAGUE OF NATIONS OCT 10^TH, 2012

It seems that dictators are okay if they are way over there,

The majority of these despot dictators are already millionaires,

And some may even be on the Security Council of the UN,

How high can they go in that phony place, these so called wise men?

If they are going to have a war over there, it should be small,

A loud battle on a field beside some old castle wall,

Do some killing and shouting and screaming and then go home,

Declare victory and write another song and another poem.

Then  go to the UN and each side make a victory speech,

And claim that the other side should be UN impeached,

Because the UN has gone the way of the old League of Nations,

Like the UN, they couldn’t stop wars or constant allegations.

SOFT COURT SYSTEM OCT 9TH, 2012

SOFT COURT SYSTEM OCT 9^TH,2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Our soft courts seem to bend over backwards giving criminals a break,

Giving bail or house arrest as though the public was not awake,

Because some legal-aid lawyer might want more Charter rights,

Though the terrorist criminal might like being involved in knife fights.

Therefore we need compulsory sentences laid down by law,

Not wishy-washy pompous judges with a soft paw,

And mandatory minimum time inside for vicious crimes,

Added time for each criminal crime each and every time.

And the Charter of Right should not influence a court decision,

The reason our courts are so soft with all the indecision,

And no publicity bans allowed for some strange reason,

We live in a democracy so therefore no secret season.

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 6^th, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

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

BY

JAMES BREDIN

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.
