JUSTIN TRUDEAU ... DEC 14TH, 2012

JUSTIN TRUDEAU  … DEC 14^TH, 2012

By

James Bredin

I’d go along with Justin Trudeau if he would agree to change,

Get a better haircut; forget Liberal crap and rearrange,

Rewrite his father’s Constitution and this time; only for us,

Assure us that under him, we will not have to kick up a fuss.

And listen to what we say about referendums and the secret list,

Or the High Court guys and girls dressed in red that we can’t resist,

Like Sue Rodriguez in her attempt to get death with dignity,

But at the moment, Justin, you’re coming across dismally.

But you can change even if you are a dyed-in-the-wool Liberal,

Bring them with you and away from their peripheral, 

What about proportional representation or did you know?

About compulsory votes and set-date elections, bro?

MERELY OBSERVERS ... DEC 13TH, 2012

MERELY OBSERVERS … DEC 13^TH, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

We are merely observers of major Canadian events

With little or no input in any judicial appointments

Which is why we should have major political changes soon

To have some influence where it counts and we’re not immune

The death-with-dignity issue is a major example here

Another Sue Rodriguez decision is one reason to fear

Where judges are picked from extremely secret lists

That we can’t see or change the system, they all insist

Add that to the soft court system and strong parole boards

Where it often appears that the wrong side has scored

We are caught between circumstances and history and now

Obedient media moguls who would never cause a row

SOMETHING IS WRONG ... DEC 12TH, 2012

SOMETHING IS WRONG  … DEC 12^TH, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

We are all caught in circumstances whether we like it or not,

In location, time, language, religion and age which means a lot,

Where death with dignity may or may not be allowed,

Abortions allowed but no death with dignity for our crowd.

Death with dignity seems to me to be a good way to go,

But I may have to go to Switzerland and spend a lot of dough,

That way I pick the time and place where I’ll be dead,

But someone has to bring my body back in a coffin bed.

This is not a good example of our so-called democracy,

Being dictated to by our secret-list autocracy,

Where Sue Rodriguez is an example of what can happen,

Never mentioned the unborn baby abortion assassins.

No Frusteration

NO FRUSTRATION …DEC 11^TH, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Why is abortion legal and death-with-dignity is not?

We can murder an unborn baby and their reaction is squat,

Try to arrange assisted suicide and you may go to jail,

And nothing can be changed and you may get no bail.

The establishment knows this and wants nothing to change,

They don’t want you to even think about this as strange,

Abortion killing clinics here and there everywhere,

If you object to this holocaust, all you’ll get is a glare.

This is really the social fault-line in our society

Can’t show that this has caused you stress or any anxiety,

We are caught in our own holocaust legislation,

No death-with-dignity and you can’t show your frustration,

NOTHING TO FEAR ... DEC 10TH, 2012

NOTHING TO FEAR  … DEC 10^TH, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

We are merely observers of major Canadian events,

With little or no input in any judicial appointments,

The death-with-dignity issue is a major example here,

Another Sue Rodriguez decision is one reason to fear.

How do we go about getting major political changes soon?

To have some influence where it counts because we’re not immune,

So judges are not picked from extremely secret lists,

That we can’t see or change or influence; they insist.

They sweep the death-with-dignity issue under the rug,

A movement or suggestion about this; will get their usual shrug,

As though Sue Rodriguez never happened and she disappeared,

We should not think about this because there’s nothing to fear.

SET THE TRENDS ... DEC 9TH, 2012

SET THE TRENDS … Dec 9^th, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

The obituaries nowadays list many of my old friends,

So dying seems to be the way to go as they set the trends,

Those great people I knew so long ago -- where did they go?

The religious say they went to heaven or hell but I don’t know.

But I do know that none of them arranged the whole affair,

We don’t have death-with-dignity, so some have to rely on prayer,

But neither can I, arrange the time and date and place to die,

If I could; I would and then arrange a party to say goodbye.

But that makes too much sense for our left-wing politicians,

Or is it right-wing politicians with no flex conditions,

Our aristocrats laid down the law about dying- with-dignity,

And it can’t be changed and nothing to do with responsibility.

My Old Comrades ... Dec 8th, 2012

MY OLD COMRADES … Dec 8^th, 2012

By

James Bredin

Many of my old comrades are still lost in nineteen sixty four,

When secretaries used typewriters in an office near the door,

So the keyboard was unknown by my old comrades back then,

This was never mentioned by those who used a ballpoint pen.

So when computers arrived; they didn’t bother to adjust,

They just stood back, looked on and hid their slight disgust,

They are still there, though computers now rule world affairs,

E-mail address is never mentioned and shake their heads like; who cares?

They are retired now so there’s still no reason to change,

The fact that they don’t have an e-mail address is not strange,

As far as they are concerned; it’s still nineteen sixty four,

Why bother to adjust to all this modern stuff that they ignore?
