Should Canadians Agonize? Poem by James Bredin

I'm not a fortune-teller but I can see the writing on the wall,
Being in a minority may be very different after all,
As the cruise ship Sun Sea brings back more refugees every year?
Even more than the usual five hundred, with nothing to fear.

And when they become a majority; they will have won,
Could get us referendums, euthanasia and a recall home run,
An elected Senate and vote for prime minister by name,
And nailed down set-date elections in our political game.

And all this is speculation because we really don't know,
Every journalist in the country has emphasized the status quo,
Maybe just maybe some politician some day might realize,
That we need some serious changes and just don't agonize.
