CAN THIS BE DONE?... SEPT 5TH, 2013

JAMES BREDIN

They’re talking about deleting our Senate off the map,

Should it depend on how many senators are having a nap?

After all, they can stay around until they are seventy five,

But even at that old age some of them can be very much alive.

But if they could give us death-with-dignity; that would be great,

I don’t think they can do it until the Commons has it up for debate,

But they should still try because  the writing is on the wall,

Could the auditor’s financial report put the place into recall?

Do we have to change the Constitution for major stuff like this?

Its not something that can be overlooked forgotten and dismissed,

And while we’re at it; death-with-dignity is due and should be passed,

Despite all the organized holy religious opposition amassed.

Can the mounties charge a senator for fidling with his/her books?

And are appointed senators so high up, they can’t be crooks,

Because they were appointed and avoided all elections -- they’re great,

And democracy was avoided and not up for

debate.

And our politicians are very reluctant to make these changes,

While the Ottawa establishment is busy on golf ranges,

So they delay and postpone pretending that they might be concerned,

And death-with-dignity is not mentioned so never adjourned.

Canada has a big problem that we’re reluctant to admit,

It’s the appointed senate red chamber trying to make it fit,

This disappointing lack of democracy doesn’t make sense,

Add that to banned assisted suicide and no need for pretence.

INFLUENCE THE APPOINTED SENATE  … SEPT 4TH, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

How do we influence the Canadian Senate appointees?

They are not elected so live an aristocrat life of ease,

So isolated, they may not have heard of death-with-dignity,

Should we write them, phone them, e-mail them or just watch them on TV?

As members of the appointed Ottawa elite; they are high up,

You don’t get normal contact with these aristocrats closeup,

You have to show respect because of their honorary titles,

And realize that they have lots of bureaucratic disciples.

How do we tell these elites about death-with-dignity now?

They may not listen because they are holier than thou,

Is there somewhere you can complain about this attitude?

And their complete lack of thankfulness and gratitude.

Could our appointed Senate pass a law about death-with-dignity?

Why do all those who even try to answer; do it differently,

Could the Red Chamber, save the day or will they be deleted?

Or do those who know the real answer, keep it a secret?

Does democracy count here as they wait till they are seventy five?

Could the upcoming audit scandals cause them to take a nose dive?

Has anyone ever mentioned death-with-dignity up there?

Could this be their democratic chance to survive in those chairs?

If we/they can’t debate this issue; could we get them to change?

Could they just legalize assisted suicide and then arrange?

Am I doing something wrong by asking all these questions?

Maybe you, whoever you are, can come up with more suggestions.

I’M WORRIED… Sept 1st, 2013

JAMES BREDIN

I’m worried about the time and place and date that I will die,

This is very important and if you stick around, I’ll tell you why,

We don’t have death-with-dignity because it’s been denied,

Like the Supreme Court told Sue Rodriguez on her way to die.

The media moguls and the preachers say everything is great,

So there is no need to bring this sticky subject up for debate,

The appointed senators still have to do what they’ve been told,

No changes accepted and there’s no need to run around being bold.

Therefore there is no need to think about your upcoming death,

And there’s no easy way out as you lie down to take your last breath,

No death-with-dignity despite the probability of great pain,

Their diehard reluctance to change things; I just can’t explain
