Canadian Capital Punishment... Poem by James Bredin

A recent poll shows that many approve of punishment by death,
Not politically correct of course so we avoid that path,
And murderers know they’ll just go to jail and maybe get bail,
It doesn’t matter who or how they slaughtered or the gory details.

We have no binding referendums so we cannot change the law,
And in Canada, this is not recognized as a huge legal flaw,
And media moguls refrain from publishing these frightful facts,
They might get a Senate appointment if they avoid certain tracks.

Death sentence would save taxpayers the cost of keeping killers in jail,
In maximum imprisonment places where there should be no bail,
But we never know who is making these decisions up there,
We sometimes seem to have lost control in these vital affairs.
