CANADA/US PROBLEMS ... JAN 8TH, 2013

Canada/US problems … Jan 8^th, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

The Americans have a problem because of people with guns,

Going into schools and shooting helpless daughters and sons,

And we all have the problem of pedophile priests but who could have guessed?

Dressed up in colorful vestments pretending that they are blessed.

Either way; it’s time we brought back punishment by lethal injections,

Capital punishment of any kind – all we need is directions,

Time to change and take back strong national control once more,

Or when we find them; keep them in jail for life behind locked doors.

We also have a problem in that time does not stand still,

We need political leaders with the guts, the brains and the will,

Because pedophile priests are sometimes hidden very far away,

Hidden by high cardinal officials and those who want a delay.

PROBLEM ABOUT DYING ... JAN 7TH, 2013

PROBLEM ABOUT DYING  … Jan 7^th, 2013

By

James Bredin

The big problem about dying is that it can’t be arranged,

Ottawa elites laid down the law though many think it’s strange,

And it can’t be changed because that’s something else they laid down,

No death-with-dignity is allowed on Canadian ground.

There must be more to this phenomenon than meets the eye,

The illusion of input and democracy; all gone bye-bye,

You didn’t even notice it, but you haven’t tried to die,

You are compelled to obey even in pain and comply.

Old age has a thousand signs that death is on the way,

And no matter how or when or where; we don’t have much to say,

Because death with dignity is banned in our great land,

By dressed up elites who rule and you can’t give them a hand.

WHAT CAN WE DO? ... JAN 6TH, 2013

WHAT CAN WE DO?  …  Jan 6^th, 2013

By

James Bredin

The elites who make decisions are not interested in you,

Where referendums are banned because we all behave on cue,

And death-with-dignity is also banned though this can’t even be said

In case those ideas are accepted and become widespread.

No proportional representation or all-voting rules,

Entrenched as though Canadians were nothing but fools,

That plus our elite aristocrats appointed from a very secret list,

That can’t be seen or read as though it didn’t exist.

Because party politicians are locked in like a religion,

They do exactly what they’re told like a homing pigeon,

Where binding referendums and death-with-dignity are unknown,

And don’t expect changes in a forthcoming speech from the throne.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AGAIN

OTTAWA POLITICIANS ... JAN 5TH, 2013

OTTAWA POLITICIANS  … Jan 5^th, 2013

By

James Bredin

Our Ottawa politicians go into hiding and stay there,

Maybe a face in Parliament but it’s all for display,

We have no input where binding referendums are banned,

But they have their party agenda and it’s all well planned.

The elites who make decisions are really not interested in you,

Where we have no referendums and we do stuff on cue,

And death-with-dignity is an issue that no one can mention,

Because of the possible political problems and tension.

They are part of an establishment that you may even promote,

But why do less than half Canadians even bother to vote,

And what can we do to make Ottawa pay attention?

Death-with-dignity would be nice or did I already mention?

AFTER YOU DIE ... JAN 4TH, 2013

AFTER YOU DIE  … JAN 4^TH, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

After you die; you will go to either heaven or hell,

For eternity, they say, and that’s where you will dwell,

Nobody has come back and said where these places are,

But you’re going there anyway, no matter how near or far.

Spending eternity in heaven or hell is difficult to believe,

It’s what our religions teach us so there’s no need to grieve,

But our bodies are dead and they are not going anywhere,

We can’t change anything so there’s no need for despair.

Unless someone comes up with a better notion that we can believe,

We’re supposed to be intelligent people and not naïve,

But I don’t think we’re going anywhere near or far after we die,

We are nothing but dead bodies then and that’s the reason why.

And that’s why we need death-with-dignity and, Stephen, soon,

So that we can make the transition painlessly and we’re not immune,

And after that they burn us and put our ashes in a nice jar,

This is all true stuff though it appears a bit bazaar.

DEATH IS IN OUR FUTURE ... JAN 3RD, 2013

DEATH IS IN OUR FUTURE … JAN 3^RD, 2013

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,

Because each one of us has a completely different life,

Some of us even have nothing but trouble and strife.

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

Unless you have to go to Switzerland and spend a lot of dough,

And you pick the time and place over there, where you will be dead,

Is there something happening here, that maybe we should dread?

Stephen: I’m afraid to tell you this but even you will die,

And we need to talk about this before we say our goodbyes,

If we could get death-with-dignity; we could then relax,

And not be afraid to face the end-of-life facts.

MAYBE MARTIN LUTHER ... JAN 2ND, 2013

MAYBE MARTIN LUTHER; MAYBE NOT … Jan 2nd, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

The pedophile-priest scandal could be matched with Martin Luther,

Big stories on the Internet and on everyones’ computer,

Though the church seems to feel that this scandal is no big deal,

And in a little while; all these scandal problems will disappear.

But Martin Luther’s notice board was on a cathedral door,

Which caused the controversy to increase more and more,

But the Internet is different than a cathedral door,

Will those who want another reformation eventually score?

And the writing on the web-page walls gets bigger every day,

And these Internet pages and revelations just wont go away,

Because it’s too big to be quietly swept under the rug,

By quiet obedient religious types who just seem to shrug.
