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

By

JAMES BREDIN

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.

CANADIAN SENATE ... APRIL 17TH, 2015

CANADIAN SENATE         … APRIL 17TH, 2015

BY

JAMES BREDIN

We have appointed senators that stay till they're seventy five,

Few know who, or why they were appointed or if they are still alive,

Three were recently fired for fooling with the books,

It was a shock to learn that senators were behaving like crooks.

Recall could help us with stupid appointed politicians,

So that we the people would not have to tolerate their dumb ambitions,

But where do we find the man or woman to rewrite our constitution?

We could be compared to environmentalists worked up about pollution?

They won't touch death-with-dignity, binding referendums or recall,

You can ask all you want but all you will get is another stall,

And the rules for appointed senators are only now coming to light,

These have long been accepted and not supposed to give you a fright.

NO NEED TO THINK ... APR 14TH, 2015

NO NEED TO THINK … APR 14TH, 2015

BY

JAMES BREDIN

We are lectured by media moguls; what we should think,

Managed truth, with no doctor-assisted death and a wink,

And the Ottawa establishment is our managed upper crust,

No need to vote though and when we will die, we will turn to dust.

And our appointed senators can stay for almost their whole lives,

That's seventy five years and no one really knows how many survive,

And we have no binding referendums and recall is banned,

Just like no death-with-dignity -- at their political command.

Radical thoughts such as these will not be accepted by those who count,

You have to listen to their constant and silent sermon from the mount,

They rule the roost and you have absolutely no power,

You are considered a nobody while they are in the control tower.

ELECT CANADIAN SENATE ... APR 11TH, 2015

ELECTED CANADIAN SENATE … APR 11TH, 2015

BY

JAMES BREDIN

We should elect our senators for a period of five years,

Instead of appointing them for near-life like party volunteers,

As though hidden rules were like scripture and had to be obeyed,

Are they fiddling with the books again and should we be afraid?

We should show more respect for these life-long appointees,

Though you may not know who they are and you seldom if ever see,

And some may have been fired for fiddling with the books,

Are there others, or is this just as bad as it looks?

Our appointed Senate has had a few questionable affairs,

Though most can stay there till late in life and no one cares,

Where death with dignity is forbidden and can't be discussed,

Called doctor assisted suicide by preachers in disgust.

NOT ONE CANADIAN PROVINCE ... APRIL 10TH, 2015

NOT ONE CANADIAN PROVINCE ….    APRIL 10TH, 2015

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Preachers on pulpits in strange gowns say suicide is a sin,

Therefore those of us in great pain about to die, cannot win,

Because death-with-dignity is forbidden and never allowed,

And you better accept these rules and keep your head bowed.

Because this is the law of the land and its already enforced,

Because this is what our politicians have already endorsed,

So if you are suffering in great pain and about to die,

Your doctor can't give you suicide assistance and that's why.

It's hard to believe but eventually we will all die,

Though nothing much can be done about this and no one knows why,

Though six US states have death with dignity now,

But not one Canadian province because its not allowed.

NO NEED TO FRET ... APR 8TH, 2015

NO NEED TO FRET  … APR 8TH, 2015

BY

JAMES BREDIN

We have politicians who will not touch doctor-assisted-death,

They're at meetings in big buildings in Ottawa so no need to fret,

So if you are on your death bed suffering in great pain,

Death with dignity is forbidden so there is nothing to gain.

There's an election coming so they want your vote and a donation,

So when they get reelected they will have a big celebration,

Where death-with-dignity is forbidden and cannot be discussed,

So go back to sleep because they consider themselves the upper crust.

I apologize of course if I disturbed your trend of thought,

But with enough of your donations, an election can be bought,

And your doctor still can't assist you with your death,

According to our politicians; this is good so no need to fret.

SOMETHING I DREAD ... APR 5TH, 2015

SOMETHING I DREAD … APR 5TH, 2015

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Fortunately or unfortunately. I'm getting very old,

And at my age, I tend to feel the heat or the cold,

I would like to make arrangements to die in twenty forty two,

But pagan ideas like this, are considered downright lewd. 

But doctor assisted death, is definitely not allowed,

This is what our Ottawa politicians seem to have vowed,

In other words; we have to die without dignity or class,

These tax-and-spend politicians need a quick kick in the ass.

Things should change and improve but what can we do?

Without binding referendums, we have to wait in a long cue,

I wish they'd do it now and not wait till I'm dead,

Their secret political agenda is something I dread.

A SUBJECT NEVER DISCUSSED ... APR 2ND, 2015

A SUBJECT NEVER DISCUSSED … APR 2ND, 2015

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Our Ottawa politicians should realize by now,

Their death-with-dignity attitude could cause an awful row,

And doctor assisted death should be legal for us to die,

Though they won't discuss this subject and I don't know why.

Why have we run into this death-with-dignity barricade?

Is this a form of our democracy that has gone to fade?

I guess this is not important unless you are slated to die,

And if you are going to do that in pain; you might wonder why.

Both a good economy and democracy are crucial,

Though the lack of death-with-dignity could be brutal,

Because we don't know the schedule of when we will die,

Because we could die in great pain looking up at the sky.
