Dying with dignity is about living life on our own terms,
When and if we get our euthanasia; this will be confirmed,
We should not need to go to court for permission to die,
To have some high court judge refuse while looking us in the eye.
...
The Middle East is like Ireland in many many ways,
Each side totally committed to their own religious days,
Therefore in a way, it’s god that’s causing the problems over there,
One of the reason why their peace negotiations can go nowhere.
...
They’ve come and gone in Afghanistan since Alexander the Great,
They’re at it again and the whole affair is up for debate,
The Imperial British and the Russians all came and left,
Unfortunately we’re there now with our politicians bereft.
...
I have absolutely no influence and neither do you
No Death-With-Dignity or compulsory voting so what’s new?
We’re going to have an election that will only change some names,
But unfortunately, everything else stays exactly the same.

The Americans added the State of Vermont yesterday,
No need to look forward to a painful doomsday death there,
They also have the State of Oregon and Washington on side,
Unfortunately Canadians don’t have one province with this pride.
...
People are concerned about when and where and how they will die,
Unfortunately they can’t do anything and if asked, they’ll deny,
They are also forbidden binding referendums so that’s it,
Media moguls and politicians think this subject is unfit.
...
I have a problem as I get older and closer to my death,
Nothing can be planned or scheduled and no times can be set,
The Sue Rodriguez incident passed without notice and why?
With Lou Gehrig’s disease; in pain; they would not allow her to die.
...
Death with dignity should be part of our health-care system now,
With graphic details etched on every gravestone somehow,
If we had binding referendums like the Swiss; it could be done,
