Established Hierarchy Poem by James Bredin

Established Hierarchy



Our Ottawa appointed-for-life establishment wants to stay,
Well paid aristocrats from unknown places very far away,
But you need to have strong connections to get in that door,
And you don’t need to get elected because you know the score.

Therefore our appointed establishment want nothing to change,
They got it made till they’re seventy five so why should this be strange?
Did someone say we have a democracy because of elections?
But we don’t need to elect senators because of their connections.

Is this why less than half Canadians even bother to vote?
Because we have no compulsory voting law - government note,
And appointed senators can stay for life and you didn’t know,
Seldom mentioned in the papers and even less in a talk show.
