Death With Dignity Again Poem by James Bredin

Is it religion, party politics or a hidden agenda?
That keeps death-with-dignity out of our addenda?
If Quebec gets it; should we get it too or is that all there is?
Are our politicians in another world or in show biz?

Why are Canadian politicians in hiding on this?
Why can’t we have death-with-dignity like the Swiss?
Will the Sue Rodriguez decision haunt us forever?
Do our politicians and elites think that this is quite clever?

Will we have to change the Constitution because of this?
Could we change it along the lines of the Swiss?
Or is this subject too holy to be openly discussed?
And what can we do to show the elites, our utter disgust?
