Vagrants panhandlers addicts and war

There was a time when vagrants and addicts were jailed,

And psychiatric patients hospitalized or seldom bailed,

When Canadians could walk the streets and not be disturbed,

By homeless panhandlers who now keep people perturbed.

 

It seems as though political correctness has ran amok,

The result of Trudeau/Chretien Charter and we’re stuck,

With terrorists and criminal refugees all claiming rights,

We were meekly managed by their left-wing media might.

 

Oh, they say, we have democracy, and isn’t that great?

Wait five years for an election and maybe have a debate,

Because without recall or referendums we are floating logs,

Or sheep in a large flock being herded by Ottawa blogs.

 

As they send the good guys to Afghanistan for UN wars,

Or maybe Rwanda or the Congo and its up yours,

What’s this about change, and whose side are you on?

We’re all with the UN together in Afghanistan.

 

And don’t you dare ask questions about whose authority,

Not the soft-on-crime appointees of adscam minority?

So it might help, if we had recall or referendums,

Could the Charter be just for Canadians in an addendum?

 

It’s the complete lack of Canadian values I detest,

We just go to daily funerals and we wouldn’t dare protest,

The good army guys are getting slaughtered over there,

But here, it’s addicts and the panhandlers that we care.

Canada should pass a law to avoid troubled places,

Their affairs are not ours and too many dead-guy cases,

They call it peacekeeping but any excuse for a war,

If we had a no-peacekeeping law, we couldn’t go that far.

 

And why should Canadians die for causes over there?

As we count the dead in this spectacular UN affair,

And our pompous politicians might have to sit and think,

If we had this law, their ambitions would surely shrink.

 

Just pull out of Afghanistan and tell the UN go to hell,

We’re a sovereign nation and this whole affair smells.

It doesn’t take a lot of brains to figure we should pull out,

No victory for the dead, and why, in case you had a doubt.

 

We need this law just to keep our politicians in check,

Can’t go peacekeeping where a man might get shot in the neck,

Or maybe binding referendums or recall would work,

Maybe save lives instead of politicians going berserk.

African Madness

It appears to me that Sub Saharan Africa is mad,

A large portion dying from AIDS which is quite sad,

Another portion starving, killing, shooting or being killed,

And the UN wants us all involved in this, up to the gills.

 

Because the UN has its own not so hidden agenda,

In their international left wing socialist propaganda,

They make it sound as though we have an obligation,

Like the old Christian missionaries who stayed on station.

 

You remember the Rwanda dead and then there’s Darfur,

Humanitarian crisis that repeat for African poor,

Then there’s the Congo with their daily armed clashes,

Guns, bombs, death and grenades amid frequent flashes.

 

Nothing is normal where thousands of women are raped,

Where child soldiers are given guns and trained and shaped,

Amid another UN draft resolution by politicians,

Pompously proclaimed while they ponder their ambitions.

 

Democracy and fair elections are all a distant dream,

And nothing is going to change much in an off-the-wall scheme,

Peacekeepers only add to the madness where there are mines,

Could this be much worse than in those old colonial times?

The UN wants to be involved in the Middle East affairs.

A debating society where no one really cares,

They’ve been deceived by the fallacy of their own importance,

Regularly refuse the reality and their impotence.

 

They’ve been in the Arab-Israeli maelstrom five times,

As they try to interfere with ongoing terrorist crimes,

Send peace keepers here and there to fix this and that,

As useless and pretentious as a welcome mat.

 

And now the UN has been proven useless once more,

As in Rwanda -- half a million -- and then Darfur,

And now even Hezbollah has defied the UN too,

Because they act independent, this rich terrorist crew.

 

So sending rockets into Israel is now okay,

So negotiate with Hezbollah, politicians say,

Do terrorists change their spots in the middle of the night?

Will the UN tell them that they agree with their fight?

 

And the UN will soon be just like the League of Nations,

An obscure useless memory of forgotten relations,

History tends to repeat itself and it all happened before,

Terrorists and dictatorships always wanting war.
