We don’t know why or when or where we will eventually die,

It’s not politically correct, not in the Charter and why,

“No assisted suicide will be tolerated,” they taunt,

This is what the religious elitist political folks want.

 

They also believe that they will never-never die in pain,

If they do, they might go to Switzerland and not complain,

Because they have access to assisted suicide over there,

Then they can avoid that dying in drawn-out painful prayer.

 

Because dying with dignity in Canada is not allowed,

Therefore you could suffer in great pain before you’re under a shroud.

Without binding referendums or political recall,

Canadians are so legally submissive that we crawl.

Why am I denied the right to decide when I’m going to die?

Therefore they deny me the right to schedule my last goodbye,

Assisted suicide and euthanasia is a subject that they scorn,

Perhaps politicians think, they wont die in pain or be mourned.

 

I just hope I don’t come down with some dreadful disease,

Begging for mercy or assisted suicide down on one knee,

Where referendums, recall and euthanasia are forbidden,

Manipulating politicians who ensure it stays hidden.

 

Canadian politicians strongly oppose any change,

They want to maintain the status quo and that’s not so strange,

The organized zealots in Ottawa are so proud of their schemes,

They do not want to hear the dying or their muffled screams.

We should have the right to die with dignity and decorum,

This should not be a question for politicians in some forum,

We should have fundamental Charter rights to end our lives,

And not have to wait in pain and horror until death arrives.

 

Who should decide whether your life is worth living or not?

Should it be the officials or the cops or yourself or what?

Is euthanasia considered mercy or murder where you live?

Or is it a low down mortal sin that maybe god will forgive?

 

Will they let you turn off the device so you can die in peace?

Get euthanasia and not have to worry about the police,

Or are we stuck in the sludge of religious discrimination?

As we approach our inevitable death by frustration.

Apathetic Canadians can’t have assisted suicide,

Because death and political correctness would surely collide,

There’s no one marching in the streets yet for the right to die,

Merely to reschedule the time they might have to say goodbye,

 

I don’t think it’s so much Canadians as their politicians,

Because they’re bogged down in scandals and age-old traditions,

Whoever thought that abortion and same-sex marriage would win?

Because like euthanasia, they too were once a mortal sin.

 

Canadians want euthanasia but their politicians refuse,

There was a time when Canadians were even forbidden booze,

But without binding referendums and recall it’s all uphill,

We need assisted suicide because time does not stand still.
