FIFTY YEARS FROM NOW ... MAY 10TH, 2015

FIFTY YEARS FROM NOW … MAY 10TH, 2015

JAMES BREDIN
Death with dignity is such a pleasant peaceful way to die,
Though religious folk and politicians get worked up and ask why?
Don't have to go to Switzerland because we can now do it here,
The High Court finally changed their ways so we have no fears.

That's the way it should be but our politicians still won't allow,
They are silent and won't change laws or say a word just now,
While those who are dying in pain can't have doctor-assisted death,
In a hospital bed waiting and struggling to take their last breath.

Why are Canadians in such an monstrous political mess?
Very little written in the newspapers and no one will confess,
Maybe things will change sometime in the next fifty years,
Maybe those who are still alive then, will have some cheers.

DO WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET? MAY 7TH, 2015

DO WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET?     May 7th, 2015

by

James Bredin

We deserve what we get from those we elect and there's nothing we can do,

As they tax and spend and travel but there's nothing there for you,

Not even death with dignity because that's against their law,

Which they will not change or rearrange because they can't see a flaw.

So go back to sleep and there's no need to weep because they want to stay,

You can walk in their parades and don't even think of moving away,

And show respect because they are right as you watch them on TV,

Though we're going to have an election soon and what will be, will be.

So turn off your computer and stop reading this kind of stuff,

Nothing can or will change because that would be too rough,

Switzerland and Oregon may have it but not you,

No death with dignity or doctor assisted death is due.

WE NEED A POWERFUL POLITICIAN ... APRIL 27TH, 2015

WE NEED A POWERFUL POLITICIAN...   APRIL 27TH, 2015

BY

JAMES BREDIN

The Americans still have the death penalty -- good for them,

And they're not afraid to use it on those whom they condemned,

Canada has no death penalty -- not politically correct,

Appointed Senate stays and they're not worried about who we elect.

While some of our judges can decide on a publication ban,

Reasons unknown, hidden from the public in a hierarchal plan,

And we don't have death with dignity because that too is banned,

We have no binding referendums so nothing can be planned.

So we need some powerful politician to rewrite the constitution,

Give us back some power, referendums and maybe a solution,

We are so politically correct and appointed-senate soft,

No capital punishment or death with dignity from those aloft.

SENATE BINGO HALL ... APRIL 26TH, 2015

SENATE BINGO HALL  … APRIL 26TH, 2015

BY

JAMES BREDIN

We have an extremely great country but we have problems too,

Our doctor-assisted-death solution is long overdue,

For some hidden reason, our politicians refuse to talk,

As though this subject is forbidden so they stay silent and gawk.

Even the journalists seldom if ever write about this,

We just can't have death-with-dignity like the Swiss,

My big problem is that I don't know when I'm going to die,

Its not just the when; its the where, the how and the why.

And we can't turn our appointed Senate into a bingo hall,

Send all those appointees home and no need to stall,

They had to fire three senators for fooling with the books,

Is it possible that some of our appointees were crooks?

FIX THE SYSTEM   … April 25th, 2015

How do we get our politicians to pay attention to us?

Are we just the type of people, you might see waiting for a bus?

Because our politicians are in Ottawa or Toronto hidden away,

They want to stay there forever and have little to say.

These elected and appointed politicians don't want to change,

So therefore our doctor-assisted-death will not be arranged,

So go back to bed and have another how-do-we-do-it dream,

Because we need a large death-with-dignity team.

Some of our appointed senators were fired for fiddling with the books,

But none of them ever mentioned death-with-dignity or looked like crooks,

We need a politician who can change things around,

But most pompous preachers don't like this sound.

SEVENTY EIGHT PERCENT OF CANADIANS ... APRIL 24TH, 2015

SEVENTY EIGHT PERCENT OF CANADIANS ….  APRIL 24TH, 2015

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Parliament closes in June till October and that's great,

Eight European countries and five US states,

Add seventy eight percent of Canadians approve,

They would like to die with dignity when they have to move. 

We are all, that's you and I, just passing through,

Then we die, just like our forefathers when we're due,

But our politicians seem to think that they will never die,

Therefore no need for death-with-dignity or a need to ask why. 

They are all excited because they balanced the budget,

But we still can't have death-with-dignity because its too rigid,

It doesn't matter how many Canadians want it -- they oppose,

Who is really running this outfit; do you suppose?

YOUR CHANCE, JUSTIN ... APRIL 18TH, 2015

YOUR CHANCE, JUSTIN … April 18th, 2015

by

James Bredin

Here's your big chance Justin, to do like your famous dad,

Though his Charter didn't have binding referendums which was sad,

This is how you can get to the top because the others won't dare,

Referendums and doctor-assisted-death, could likely get you there.

That is where your dad was, all the way to the top,

This is your only route as you watch opposition standings drop,

Even if they read this poem; they still don't have the guts,

They're too busy spending and pretending to make cuts.

The death-with-dignity folks would be glad to join you,

They have no political leaders to get their programmes through,

All the parties are silent on this for some strange reason,

As though death-with-dignity might be Canadian treason.
