POMPOUS THRONE SPEECH… Oct 18th, 2013
by
James Bredin
The pomp and circumstances of the Ottawa aristocrats,
Reading a throne speech in the Red Chamber with bureaucrats,
Where compulsory votes and death with dignity was not spoken,
And the silence on these two painful issues was never broken.
Why are we obliged to watch them perform where these issues are forbidden?
What is the secret reason why these issues are hidden?
Will parliament be prorogued again if these subjects might appear?
Will it always be banned and forbidden forever even next year?
Are we expected to be mesmerized by Red Chamber stuff?
Where no one would dare make a noise or question or rebuff?
Where compelled voting and death with dignity was swept aside?
And Canadians were compelled to go along for the ride?
