You know of course that you are quietly approaching your death,

Where you will eventually, maybe in pain, take one last breath,

Then it’s onto heaven or hell or just a place in the grave yard,

To even contemplate this, I know, is difficult, sad and hard.

Canadian politicians say we all have Charter rights,

But no rights to property or euthanasia they then write,

And that “Peaceful Pill Handbook” may have been burned, banished and banned,

Never ever mentioned in the media to curtail demand.

That means no assisted suicide for you on your death bed,

No referendums, no recall and democracy may be dead,

They say end of life issues cannot be altered softened or changed,

Egotistical politicians have been known to be deranged.

Rules made in Ottawa beamed at us from very far away,

Without referendums, political recall and nothing to say,

No assisted suicide from those talking heads over there,

But we have Charter Rights they say and should not feel despair.

 Euthanasia is banned too and will never be allowed,

Plus they think they’re so righteous, this political crowd,

But one by one they’ll realize as they get closer to their death,

Why Sue Rodriguez begged the Supreme Court for mercy on her last breath.

Eventually they will recognize that sickness and death will come,

I’m not a prophet so there is no need for them to feel glum,

But the sickness before they die could also bring great pain,

They could make legal changes now and not be so vain

Will you be one of those trapped in the long dark tunnel to death?

Approaching the unknown in great pain and suffering to your last breath,

Forbidden assisted suicide, euthanasia and no recall,

Though they have allowed abortion clinics in every second mall.

Should the end of your life rest in yours or someone else’s hands?

Or should you have to die with dignity in some far foreign land?

To avoid excruciating pain and suffering in your old age,

And get euthanasia or assisted suicide in a quiet rage.

They will not discuss changes to laws for those dying in pain,

Ironic too that those dying don’t have much time to complain,

While freedom of choice is allowed for abortion seeking ladies,

Where they snuff out the life of tiny fetus unborn babies.

To think outside the box back then was definitely not allowed,

Could have been burned at the stake by the Inquisition crowd,

Though nowadays they shout about our so called Charter rights,

They’d prefer if we would just shut up and turn out the lights.

Because their status quo is extremely important to them,

No assisted suicide, referendums, recall and you can’t condemn,

Street sex workers may be victims but no one will change a thing,

No cat houses and no euthanasia though events may sting.

You too could be the one trapped in the throbbing tunnel towards death,

Some painful disease with no escape as you approach your last breath,

And they could change the rules but unfortunately they say they can’t,

In the meantime, suffer and listen to their status quo rant.

Not too many old Canadians really die of old age,

It’s usually some nasty agonizing disease at that stage,

Sometimes it’s slow and painful though horribly silent too,

These events are in your future and there’s nothing you can do.

You are forbidden to think of rearranging these affairs,

Maybe slip away in silence with someone who really cares,

There are among the signs that we need to change with the times,

Dead prostitutes, grass, euthanasia are among these signs.

Churches, synagogues and mosques want you to believe what they say,

Behave yourself and don’t think outside the norm in any way,

Euthanasia and assisted suicide are a no-no,

You have to suffer in horrible pain till it’s your time to go.
