OLD COMRADES Sept 9th,2012

Politicians don't want compulsory votes that might bring change,
They could be out of a job and homeless in the exchange,
Therefore this subject is forbidden and never spoken,
And the silence on this subject is secret and never broken.
...

I'd like to avoid dying in severe agony and pain,
Looking at spots in the ceiling and listening to the rain,
But this is what our appointed Supreme Court imposed on us to do,
They did it to very sick Sue Rodriguez and to you too.
...

Binding referendums are the flashpoint for our change.
Why are they so difficult to arrange and why is this so strange?
Why do our appointees and politicians just smile and walk away?
Why are media moguls so careful in what they write and say?

THINGS WE DON'T HAVE SEPT 15TH,2012
BY
JAMES BREDIN
...

Media moguls announce our democracy every day,
It's only natural because this is Canada, they say,
Even though we're not allowed to elect someone to our Senate,
So much for our democracy on our Canadian planet.
...

Democracy involves elections in case you didn't know,
So appointing unknowns to the Senate is nothing but a floorshow,
And why can't this democratic illusion be altered or changed?
Ask anyone and everyone and it cannot be rearranged.
