WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?     … Aug 24th, 2014

BY

JAMES BREDIN

We can't control the time, the place or the reason we will die,

Because death with dignity is forbidden though I don't know why,

Except in Quebec where they seem to have figured it out,

But the rest of us are still forbidden and running around in doubt.

I would like to arrange when, where, if and how I will die,

Though this idea can cause politicians to turn extremely shy,

And their reaction to this, doesn't make much sense to me,

If those who are dying in great pain make such an anxious plea.

But the High Court told Sue Rodriguez that she couldn't have her way,

The Supreme Court rules Canada so she just had to obey,

But Quebec has death with dignity now, though we still can't,

What does all this mean, as we listen to more politicians rant.
