PROBLEM ABOUT DYING … Jan 7th,2013

By

James Bredin


The big problem about dying is that it can't be arranged,
Ottawa elites laid down the law though many think it's strange,
And it can't be changed because that's something else they laid down,
No death-with-dignity is allowed on Canadian ground.




There must be more to this phenomenon than meets the eye,
The illusion of input and democracy; all gone bye-bye,
You didn't even notice it, but you haven't tried to die,
You are compelled to obey even in pain and comply.




Old age has a thousand signs that death is on the way,
And no matter how or when or where; we don't have much to say,
Because death with dignity is banned in our great land,
By dressed up elites who rule and you can't give them a hand.
