WHY BOTHER TO VOTE? June 26th,2013

BY
JAMES BREDIN


Our politicians give the impression that nothing can be done,
They’re busy having a scandal though this may be the third one,
Reason why less than half Canadians even bother to vote,
And the system can’t be changed, altered or repaired so take note.




Appointed senators, like cardinals, are there almost for life,
Their list of entitlements is long and can cause some strife,
Naturaly they want to stay where they are for as long as they can,
A secret selection but no election and they never ran.




And those who can and should do something about it; are busy too,
On a plane going to a conference doing the sudoku,
Photo oportunities here there everywhere on earth,
No changes for you as everything goes back and forth.
