Their newspapers are social engineering on a grand scale,

Between advertisements bent bulletins in every detail,

They say we’re in league with the far out left-wing UN,

Pushing peacekeeping or war at the stroke of a pen.

 

This hidden agenda will sink us in their UN Ocean,

And we will obey because we don’t have another notion,

Without binding referendums or recall we have no say,

Bound by political correctness straight into the fray.

 

Discussed in caucus where not one man made a moan,

How many flag-draped coffins are on the way home?

Standing at attention and saluting dead guys these days,

Heroes in hearses with medals going to their graves.

 

The UN seems useless with their constant resolutions,

Diplomatic disasters without serious solutions,

International appointees pretend that they’re ahead,

Promoting peacekeeping as war will increase the dead.

 

UN Rwanda-type decisions got half a million killed,

Still the UN declared that their obligations were fulfilled,

Shades of WW1 where soldiers walked to their death,

Stuck in a UN peacekeeping play like ancient Macbeth.

United Nations Peace keeping in Afghanistan

 

By

UN peace-keeping guys appear like soldiers on parade,

Sitting ducks for a suicide bomber with a grenade,

I hate to be the one to burst the UN bubble,

But someone has to tell them about this awful trouble.

 

These days the UN seems to be stuck in the mud,

Can’t stop any war though they should if they could,

Soldiers in Afghanistan getting killed by the hour,

Brave dead young guys in coffins who didn’t cower.

 

How many more coffins will we carry to the grave yard?

How many more will sing: O Canada, we stand on guard,

At what point do we finally say, we’ve had enough?

Let’s cut our losses and call it off or call the UN bluff.

 

This is not WW1 with a hundred thousand brave dead,

Buried on battlefields in France with stones overhead,

There’s no battlefields in Afghanistan and no peace to keep,

Indeed it could be the UN death knell or are we all asleep?

 

Leave Afghanistan to themselves and they can kill each other.

Let them cry for their own father, mother, brother,

We can sit back here in our splendid isolation,

Avoid UN peacekeeping at every temptation.

We hope that eventually some politicians will be replaced,

Because many of them show that they are a total disgrace,

But we have to wait years and years for a distant election,

But if recall was allowed, we might improve the selection.

 

And why can’t repeat pedophiles be dangerous offenders,

Legal aid lawyers looking for loopholes – all round pretenders,

Why do all repeat offenders manage to get easy bail?

Are we so blind to their intentions that we need Braille?

 

With referendums we could send Ottawa a memo,

This is a democracy and you are not “el supreemo”

With recall we could even put their jobs on the line,

They could do what we want, leave now, later or resign.

 

And parliament only sits for maybe half the year,

Why not the whole year just to show that they’re sincere?

Could we have the death penalty reinstated?

How do we have these serious issues even debated?

 

Could we tell the UN, no more peace keeping guys,

Too many suicide bombers and dead soldiers’ goodbyes,

When will we know about secret terrorist juvenile trials?

We need democracy now -- not propaganda for miles.

 

Why does every unwed mother get welfare for life?

Why can’t they find a man and then be called a wife?

Why can’t juvenile offenders be named or exposed?

Why no referendums or recall do you suppose?

The Youth Criminal Justice Act was written to tease,

And allow sixteen year old criminals to do as they please,

Those politicians who voted for this should be exposed,

The names of criminals and details should also be disclosed.

 

Where those terrorists who built bombs can’t be named,

They have Charter Rights and therefore can’t be shamed,

Because they’re under eighteen the Juvenile Act says,

They have to be treated gently and politely these days.

 

Incompetent politicians and soft-on-crime appointees,

Judges and prosecutors do anything to appease,

And nothing can be disclosed because of the publication ban,

It’s all part of their pious pompous left wing plan.

 

Because the system is sacred and cannot be changed,

No referendums and no recall will ever be arranged,

An election every five or six years will have to do,

Young criminals get bail and walk without much of a review.

 

And who ever said that Canadians had a right to know?

Not in the Charter written by Chretien and Trudeau,

No property right either while democracy bereft,

Odious orthodoxies of their socialist far-out left.

 

Terrorist refugees on the incoming flights,

Each and every one of them claiming Charter Rights,

Thanks to the Charter imposed without a referendum,

And not signed by Quebec but this is no conundrum.

I hear the UN wants to take over the Internet,

Rearrange names and numbers but no reason to fret,

Like their Human Rights Councils, they know what to do,

Call it the International Internet Council but who knew?

 

Where they can direct International Public propaganda,

Influenced by some dictator’s pompous agenda,

And indeed you may find that you are completely banned,

Because of your attitude and political stand.

 

But never mind, it will all be for a good UN cause,

They’ll take the Internet from the Americans just because,

They want to organize all this without permission,

Because it’s part of their UN political ambition.

 

And introduce global taxes for poor Kyoto regions,

International red tape bureaucracy for all seasons,

It will be expensive for places with no power,

You better learn to respect them and how to cower.

 

Of course censorship may be involved in these changes,

It’s what the new UN boss thinks or arranges,

Because if you show disrespect you could go to jail,

Just like their other declared suspects in The Hague.
