POWERFUL OPPOSITION ... Nov 21st, 2012

JAMES BREDIN


Powerful religions do not allow assisted suicide,
Some men dressed in red like cardinals will get to decide,
And god is on their side so you better pay attention,
And suicide is a mortal sin or did I already mention?




Many of my old friends and comrades and neighbors are dead,
Soon enough; I will too; which is something I really dread,
Because death-with-dignity is banned in this great land,
So it’s the unknown factor of my upcoming death, I can’t stand.




The silent unknown factor of our lives is our health,
This is profound, regardless of your rank and your wealth,
It has a bearing on when, where, how and why you will die,
In a country where death-with-dignity is denied.

WHO RUNS THIS LAND NOW? … Nov 20^{th, 2012}

Is it the High Court, the politicians or the media moguls that rule?

As they pump out their pious pompous propaganda so uncool,

We are denied death-with-dignity and referendums they say,

If you really want some change, you better learn how to pray.

Our politicians seem to disappear for a month or two,

Can’t see their empty seats in Parliament because they have a rule,

Though they like to see themselves on TV doing their stuff,

We can’t tell them, that without binding referendums; it’s not enough.

And you don’t count that much because you so seldom vote,

Because without referendums; they have you by the throat,

The idea of binding referendums is strictly forbidden,

Why do the Swiss have them, but not us and I’m not kidding?

DEATH NO WAY ... Nov 19th, 2012

DEATH NO WAY … Nov 19^th, 2012

No death with dignity though their abortion clinics reign,

This doesn’t make sense to a person with a normal brain,

The Ottawa aristocrats will not allow assisted suicide,

We could go to Switzerland where their government will provide.

And no one complains because we’re politically correct,

We just wouldn’t want to show Ottawa any disrespect,

Sue Rodriguez went all the way to the Supreme Court in pain,

With terrible Lou Gehrig’s disease was treated with distain.

How long can the Ottawa aristocrats hold off on assisted suicide?

While killing babies at abortion clinics that they provide,

As though no one really know what is really going on,

Either way; in a few years, we’ll all be dead and gone.

TORONTO INJECTION SITES ... NOV 18TH, 2012

Toronto Injection Sites … NOV 18^TH, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Our media types may love the Vancouver-type injection sites,

But we the people have no referendums and few democratic rights,

And the drug-addict activists may indeed change the laws,

Did it in Vancouver with Supreme Court help; therefore no flaws.

Because less than half Canadians even bother to vote,

Therefore our established aristocrats can frequently gloat,

And those who might object, cannot be seen or even heard,

Their voices are way in the background and very blurred.

Have the Conservatives turned into Ottawa Liberals; God forbid!

Isolated travelling the world, maybe in Hong Kong or Madrid,

And like the Liberals, they want to stay forever there,

No referendums or death-with-dignity, so say a prayer.

STUPID QUESTIONS ... NOV 17TH, 2012

STUPID QUESTIONS… NOV 17^TH, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

How many babies were killed at the abortion clinics today?

Not a nice question, I know; so please go and stay away,

How many drug-addict injection sites will they allow?

Have we all gone completely nuts, here and now and how?

Will they ever allow assisted suicide or should I ask?

Is this a mortal sin and therefore maybe I should wear a mask,

If we could get binding referendums; would we change?

How do we arrange that or how do we rearrange?

Whether we like it or not; we will all eventually die,

So dying with dignity could, in some sick cases, apply,

Are our politicians so dumb that they don’t know this?

Or have they turned into do-nothing Liberals and remiss?

TORONTO INSITE CLINIC... NOV 16TH, 2012

TORONTO INSITE CLINIC ... Nov 16th, 2012

BY

James Bredin

Drug-addicts called “clients” supported by nurses and support staff,

Illegal drugs bought on street and criminals just laugh,

Twelve injection booths to inject illicit drugs and get high,

Clean free needles, syringes, cookers, filters to help them fly.

Vancouver free site where drug addicts can do their drugs,

Though taxpayers pay for it and can get nothing but a shrug,

Though the Conservative government tried to close it down,

The Supreme Court told them to stop fooling around.

And now special-interest groups want one in Toronto too,

They would and could call it a health issue to bring it through,

And the taxpayers could pay the bills and take it on the chin,

Though the addicts bought drugs the street before they came in.

STUFF NEVER DISCUSSED ... NOV 15TH, 2012

STUFF NEVER DISCUSSED … Nov 15^th, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Death-with-dignity is a subject that is never discussed,

They are not sick or going to die soon, so why cause a fuss?

And the Sue Rodriguez case was so very long ago,

Most Canadians never heard of it and just don’t know.

But we are all very equal in that we are going to die,

Though we can’t arrange the time and place, and I don’t know why,

Something to do with religion, ethics, fear and commands from above,

Hidden subject, seldom discussed by those we claim to love.

They can do it in Switzerland and Oregon and other places,

Ottawa aristocrats tell us, we can’t do it, right to our faces,

We should have a referendum but that too is not allowed,

Though they say we have democracy; this too from the same crowd.
