RECALL ... FEB 7TH, 2013

RECALL   … FEB 7^TH, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Canadian politicians like all politicians dread recall,

That’s why it’s not allowed in Canada or even City Hall,

So how do we get rid of useless drunken politicians?

Because none of them will allow recall under any conditions.

So a system of recall should be inaugurated now,

But our party-bound politicians will refuse and disallow,

And it’s even worse in the Senate where they were not elected,

Appointed by the prime minister and secretly selected.

So Canada needs a new Constitution and the sooner the better,

No more political appointees so fire them all with a letter,

Where recall is allowed and everyone up there is elected,

Admit it and fix it – improve it so that we are protected.

LEGAL SYSTEM ... FEB 6TH, 2013

LEGAL SYSTEM   … FEB 6^TH, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Propositions are forbidden and binding referendums too,

No one has ever heard of a Canadian judicial review,

Death-with-dignity is forbidden but not abortion clinics,

Killing unborn babies is legal for our odd academics.

The Supreme Court denied Sue Rodriguez death-with-dignity,

She could die in pain and they could or would show no sympathy,

No one can remember if or when we had a plebiscite,

And all political party members think this is quite exquisite.

Proportional representation is overlooked and denied,

And this is not supposed to hurt our dignity and pride,

They say we have set-date elections but no one knows when,

Those who are interested may have to go back and ask again.

HIERARCHY DEMANDS ... JAN 5TH, 2013

HIERARCHY DEMANDS  … JAN 5^TH, 2013

By

James Bredin

The hierarchy demands that their sex scandal should fade away,

And that the faithful should shut up and have little to say,

But this is something big that can’t be swept under the mat,

We just can’t forget that it ever happened and that’s that.

Vatican worldwide cover-up that went on and no one suspected,

By proclaiming Canon law above common law, they were protected,

They have their mansions, all dressed in red with little red skullcaps,

A major church reformation could leave them with nothing but scraps.

And what became of pedophile clergy who were caught?

Did they go to jail and walk the line or to a church blind spot?

Is this still going on and why does it seem to have vanished?

We never read or heard that the pedophile priests had been banished.

THE CHURCH AND THE LAW ... JAN 4TH, 2013

THE CHURCH AND THE LAW  …  JAN 4^TH, 2013

By

JAMES BREDIN

Apparently the church did not have to abide by common law,

And cardinals and Vatican elites did not think of this as a flaw,

Because the Vatican canon legal system was closer to god,

Therefore their legal system was above ours and this was not odd.

And there was no need to even discuss this with common folk,

They might not show enough respect as they stood there and smoked,

Therefore pedophile priests had to be treated with Cannon Law,

Moved to another parish and this could not be viewed as a flaw.

And this pedophile-priest scandal should be swept under the rug,

So that the bishops and cardinals could just give a shrug,

And those who have left the church better return back soon,

Or their sins will not be forgiven and they’ll go to hell and ruin.

ST MALACHY ... JAN 3RD, 2013

ST MALACHY …   JAN 3^RD, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

The prophecies of St Malachy are seldom mentioned and obscure,

Because prophecies may not happen and no one knows for sure,

Especially those in Latin written in eleven forty three,

By an Irish bishop in Rome where very few can really agree.

He announced a hundred and twelve more popes with each a different phrase,

From his time onward and means one more pope might scare us and amaze,

Should this old Irish bishop be taken serious or not?

We have no option but to wait and see if this might be some plot.

Or should we look at it from a distance as just mysterious?

Shake our heads and think it could not be very serious,

It should not mean very much to us; one way, the other,

Stop Vatican protecting pedophile priests enough to smother.

The hierarchy demanded that the church scandal should fade away,

But this is something big that can’t be swept under the mat,

We just can’t forget that it even happened and that’s that.

Vatican worldwide cover-up they say, that no one suspected,

And the elite hierarchy all wants to remain protected,

They have large mansions, dressed in red with little skullcaps,

And a major reformation could leave them nothing but scraps.

And what became of all the pedophile clergy who were caught?

Did they go to jail to stay there or were they assigned a blind spot?

Is it still going on and why does it seem to have vanished?

We never read or heard that the pedophile priests had been banished.

CANADIAN POLITICAL PROBLEMS ... FEB 1ST, 2013

CANADIAN POLITICAL PROBLEMS … FEB 1^ST, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Canadian binding referendums are completely forbidden,

Our party politicians don’t want to be overridden,

Just like death-with-dignity -- we’re going absolutely nowhere,

It seems we’re trapped in this and their political affairs.

And we are also denied proportional representation,

Then add death-with-dignity and probably damnation,

And there’s no need to vote so less than half Canadians do,

Ottawa elites busy at meetings, they have to attend to.

If you try for assisted suicide; it’s a Sue-Rodriguez reply,

You can go to Switzerland, pay the big bucks, if you want to die,

But Pauline, they say, might get it for folk in Quebec,

Good for Pauline – the best Canadian politician yet.
