Don'T You Dare Complain June 30th,2012 Poem by James Bredin

DON'T YOU DARE COMPLAIN
By
James Bredin

We don't have set-date elections and no one complains out loud,
We don't have death with dignity and churchgoers feel proud,
We have Trudeau's Charter of Rights for "EVERYONE" on the globe,
And "EVERYONE" is claiming their rights as legal-aid lawyers probe.




We don't have compulsory voting so less than half of us vote,
Politicians seem to love this as they go to Ottawa and gloat,
High Court guys/girls are appointed from a very secret list,
They must be aristocrats because you and I can't enlist.




We have parole boards that let too many criminals out of jail,
Don't bother to enquire why or even send an e-mail,
We don't have proportional representation so don't ask,
Is that someone on bail I see, with a gun, wearing a mask?
