WHY WHY WHY … MAY 15^TH, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

The Americans added the State of Vermont yesterday,

No need to look forward to a painful doomsday death there,

They also have the State of Oregon and Washington on side,

Unfortunately Canadians don’t have one province with this pride.

Because death-with-dignity has been completely banned,

Not one province is allowed to have it, in this great land,

Like they told Sue Rodriguez many years ago,

Suffering from painful Lou Gehrig’s disease and she had to go.

I feel that we will eventually get it but what a painful trip!

As Canadians are held in a fierce tight judicial grip,

And our aristocrats in Ottawa will not answer the cause,

These appointees are busy doing nothing just because.

Abortions and death-with-dignity have a lot in common,

Both involve death and no debate in the Canadian Commons,

Because our party politicians have been told not to be involved,

Therefore none of these Canadian issues can be solved.

Add to that; we have no binding referendums or recall,

And as fare as assisted suicide is concerned; we can all crawl,

Then add to that; only half of Canadians bother to vote,

And the upper echelon in Ottawa is extremely remote.

Terribly sick humans denied a dignified death,

Sick with Alzheimer’s disease, look like taking their last breath,

Others have chronic degenerative diseases that defy,

Lou Gehrig’s disease as Sue Rodriguez had to suffer and die.

SUBJECT STRICTLY FORBIDDEN ... MAY 13TH, 2013

SUBJECT STRICTLY FORBIDDEN … MAY 13^TH, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

This is one subject that is seldom if ever discussed,

Priests and ministers and bishops get to show their disgust,

Death-with-dignity is not tolerated by any religion,

Certainly never discussed where there might be children.

All religious zealots have been preached to by the cleric crowd,

From a pulpit or on TV; that DWD should not be allowed,

Many of my old friends and companions; died in severe pain,

Couldn’t do anything about it, like standing in the rain.

The idea of death-with-dignity in not allowed in this land,

It’s as though we have to march to the beat of their religious band,

This is something that can’t be discussed in the proper places,

Discussing death with dignity is forbidden in all cases.

WHILE ONTARIO POLITICIANS BOAST ... MAY 12TH, 2013

WHILE OUR POLITICIANS BOAST … MAY 12^TH, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

I’m concerned about the place, the when and the where, I will die,

Ontario politicians who put us in debt up to our eyes,

And we can’t recall them and force them to quit and go away,

They like being Ontario politicians and they want to stay.

And we can’t change

Trudeau’s Charter because it’s not allowed

We’re like a herd of sheep but our politicians feel proud

Trudeau wrote his Charter but there was some things he forgot

If we could recall stupid politicians, it would help a lot.

And without recall or referendums; we have no place to go,

While our tax-and-spend politicians waste all our taxpayer dough,

We don’t have proportional representation in first-past-the-post,

And no death-with-dignity while appointees and politicians boast.

AN APPLICATION TO BE A MEMBER ... MAY 11TH, 2013

AN APPLICATION TO BE A MEMBER … May 11^th, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

I think I’ll apply to be a senator and why not?

They were appointed for no known reason and some were caught,

I could pretend to live in Ottawa and be a big shot,

I’m as good as they are and I once owned a tiny little yacht.

Unfortunately I’d like to talk about assisted suicide,

Which is a subject they hate, despise and let slide,

But why should they care; they don’t have to be voted in,

They’re appointed till seventy five so they always win.

If I was a senator, I’d never want a change a thing,

As a member of the Canadian aristocracy with a ring,

People could bow their heads and show me some respect,

Because appointed senators never worry about a reelect.

WE ARE REMOTE … MAY 10^TH, 2013

Why can’t we have binding referendums like the Swiss?

We’re caught in a no death-with-dignity political abyss,

With Trudeau’s Charter and rights for every terrorist about

While you and I and the other Canadians have no clout.

They told Sue Rodriguez with Lou Gehrig’s disease where she should go,

Appointed Supreme Court Judges all aglow while we kowtow,

We have elections every five years but only half of us vote,

We have no recall or binding referendums so we’re considered remote.

There’s not much we can do to get their political attention,

While without death-with-dignity we wait without pretention,

We can’t even find a political leader who will listen,

Are things the same or have they improved over in Britain?

But at least you can read this blog on the Internet for now,

While the Ottawa appointed aristocrats still allow,

They have never mentioned assisted suicide in high places,

Something’s very wrong and they can’t see it in our faces.

A BIG BLACK HOLE ... MAY 9TH, 2013

A BIG BLACK HOLE … MAY 9^TH, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

I have very few colleagues and companions who are still alive,

This is what happens when you are older than seventy five,

And of course, I am concerned about when and where and how I will die,

Because it can’t be arranged and politicians wont say why.

We are not allowed binding referendums or this could be solved,

Add to that; our party politicians don’t want to be involved,

We have no other alternative but to obey and quietly die,

And if you ask them; they wont even look you in the eye.

Because death-with-dignity in Canada is a no no,

You can go to Switzerland and arrange it but it cost a lot of dough

It’s as though some strange religious cult has complete control,

And we the disobedient are headed down a big black hole.
