You Will Eventually Die... July 3rd,2013 Poem by James Bredin

Death-with-dignity seems to cause a lot of fuss along that path,
Because most people try to avoid thinking about their death,
Though they know that eventually, sooner or later, it will come,
But if they don't think about it, they may avoid having to succumb.




But Oregon, Washington and Vermont have it now,
And Pauline Marois in Quebec Bill 52, will soon allow,
And though the pompous religious types really oppose,
But their religious ideas have too long been imposed.




Unfortunately all our politicians refuse to talk about this,
Neither federal nor provincial allow binding referendums like the Swiss,
They act as though this subject was secretely forbidden,
And the reasons for not talking about it, are well hidden.
