Don’t you dare delay their political dynasty, my friend,

Or they just may think of you as upstart who has gone ‘round the bend.

They say we can’t have referendums or recall and lots more,

Nor can we have assisted suicide when going out the door.

They know of course that eventually even their lives will end,

But their status quo will remain the same and it won’t even bend,

So if you come down with some dreadful painful awful disease,

Too bad, no fuss, just fly to Switzerland if you please.

Because Holland, Belgium and Switzerland have assisted suicide,

They may help with euthanasia if you obey, pay and decide,

And our politicians are busy in committee meeting.

No questions at the moment please because they are busy eating.

Those who suffer in an intolerable condition,

An incurable disease that is sure to stop all ambition,

Plus, they’re not allowed to use euthanasia or suicide,

Because it’s illegal and forbidden in this countryside.

Their quality of life is not in Trudeau’s Charter of Rights,

Politicians are busy… off travelling enjoying the sights,

You are forbidden by law to lie there and plan your own death,

While you agonizingly approach your own very last breath.

Without binding referendums or recall we maybe doomed,

Submissive and silent as our politicians have assumed,

They allowed same-sex marriage and abortion clinics all around,

But no legal prostitution, grass or euthanasia in town.

Euthanasia 27

By

James Bredin

You may eventually be caught in pain, running out of time,

Unfortunately it is in all our futures so no need to whine,

But we could avoid a lot of this with assisted suicide,

Or maybe self administered euthanasia if we decide.

I know the priests, ministers, rabbis and imams say no,

But we got abortion clinics and same-sex marriage, bro,

So why can’t we the people decide when and if we die?

Is it the state, religion, activist groups and if so, why?

Without referendums, our politicians couldn’t care less,

Without political recall we may have to die in distress,

Because we have no influence over our future events,

They have an agenda and we’re not part of its contents.

They have dying-with-dignity meetings all over the globe,

Trying to find the answers, trying to investigate or probe,

My dogs and cats have more rights to euthanasia than me,

Why don’t we have these same rights and why should we have to plea?

With all our Charter rights and we still can’t control our destiny,

With no referendums as we consider our ignominy,

With no political recall, no influence and can’t ask,

Our politicians are too busy behind their party mask.

Assisted suicide can’t be discussed -- not on their agenda,

They’re busy as you can see with other party propaganda,

But the rights to die and property were left off Trudeau’s Charter,

It just shows that his Charter may have been a complete non starter.

Euthanasia 25

By

James Bredin

If you are old and sick and have to endure horrendous pain,

With death approaching fast and little or no time to complain,

Politicians don’t care because they have power to endure,

Without referendums or political recall they feel secure.

They will do anything to maintain the status quo and remain,

They couldn’t care less about your excruciating pain,

Euthanasia or assisted suicide is not on their agenda,

Because politicians tend to believe their own propaganda.

We are merely mobile figures in the passage of time,

While they are busy appointing friends who are soft on crime,

They allowed abortion clinics and lots of same sex marriage stuff,

Never occurred to them that dying in pain could be awful rough.
