Soft-on-Crime Justice

By

James Bredin

They scream for social justice and claim that they are always right,

They want to make sure that criminal sentences are always light,

Their hidden soft-on-crime agenda always concealed in the mist,

Where no politically correct citizen would dare resist.

They say that there’s too many of their proud people in jail,

Too many minority members in there without bail,

So it is obvious that systematic racism is involved,

And most of these friendly criminals should be absolved.

So they should be released now and discrimination should halt,

Their crimes should not be crimes because it was not their fault,

It’s our society that’s prejudiced and we’ll just have to change,

When they’re all out of prison we’ll see what we can arrange.

And people will have to be more tolerant of their anxiety,

It will make for a more politically correct society,

It must be the cops who are at fault and everybody knows,

Politicians appoint Supreme Court judges and no one to oppose.

Pay attention to the activists and they may drive you mad,

Their global-warming and climate-change cults are the new fad,

As they shout and scream that hunger and misery will be widespread,

That we’re facing an apocalyptic future and we may end up dead.

Certain species such as frogs may be extinct in sixty years,

You too may be dead by then so we should have no fears,

And there’s no need for dialogue because they know the score,

It’s a new godless religion that we’ve never heard of before.

The rainforest may be gone so don’t forget to donate now,

As much money as you dare or your partner will allow,

And we’re all in this together so jump on their wagon,

They have this evangelistic faith of a fire breathing dragon.

Increased drought and water scarcity will lead to lots of hunger,

And we better do something now because we’re not getting younger,

The sea will rise up and flood the land so you should buy a boat.

And if you believe any of this you are definitely a goat.

Homicide is a crime except for a fetus baby,

Where those at the abortion clinic deal death and no maybe,

A pregnancy tissue, they call the little live baby boy,

As they stand around with knives and pliers to destroy.

But quick death is banned for those dying in agonizing pain,

Or for those with some sort of painful cancer of the brain,

No physician assisted suicide for terminally ill,

Where even animals or horses that are hurt, we can kill.

Oregon and Dutch legislatures allow euthanasia now,

A Canadian should take this to our Supreme Court to endow,

Euthanasia should be a Right for those who want a quick out,

Same rights as “Everyone” in the Charter without a doubt.

So if we take the Charter serious, this should be a concern,

Because a quick tidy death should be our right to discern.

Or do we need some political leaders with lots of guts?

To invoke the notwithstanding clause – no if ands or butts.

We have Charter Rights to life but no Charter Rights to die,

We have to wait around to get old and sick and I don’t know why,

And unless you’re a fetus, you have these Charter Rights for life,

But if you are a fetus, they can cut you out with a sharp knife.

We’re allowed to arrange everything in life except how we leave,

We have to wait until we come down with some trauma or disease,

I propose that those in their eighties should be given the chance,

At euthanasia that could circumvent some sick circumstance.

No righteous goody-two-shoe religion if someone wants to go,

Change the Charter to a democratic quid pro quo,

Take this life-and-death issue to the Supreme Court this time,

Tell all the doctors that assisted suicide is not a crime.

If you believe in eternal life, that’s up to you, so keep the faith,

But don’t interfere with others who may want this debate,

Because it’s just a matter of time and we’ll all be dead,

So change the Charter soon and we’ll be that much more ahead.

Homicide is not allowed except to abort a baby,

You can’t have euthanasia and no ifs ands or maybes,

Because the abortion crowd went all the way to the Supreme Court,

So they didn’t need any political party support.

But no doctor assisted-suicide for terminally ill,

Even though excruciating pain might be near enough to kill,

Except in Holland or Oregon or faraway places like that,

No quick way out for you, compliant obedient brat.

So sometimes wonder why you can’t have an easy way out,

They could change the laws so as to avoid your pain and doubt,

But our politicians won’t touch this with a sixty-foot pole,

So who will go to the Supreme Court to regain people control?

Euthanasia should be one of those established Charter Rights,

And no need to be involved in an expensive legal fight,

This is not only a health care issue but about life and death,

Close to the time when you will be taking your very last breath.
