FORBIDDEN TO GO THERE … DEC 1ST,2012

...

Before your name gets into the obituaries, you must die,
And you may not have had the opportunity to say good-bye,
Because you have little control of anything relative to your death,
No death-with-dignity as you wait quietly to take your last breathe.
...

Canadian binding referendums are completely forbidden,
Our pompous politicians don't want to be overridden,
Just like death-with-dignity; we're going nowhere soon,
Politicians are too busy in their private party commune.
...

Dying-with-dignity might be a media-forbidden fact,
The aristocrats believe that this fact could infect,
And cause Canadians to demand some legal change,
But if they don't read about it; there will be no need to rearrange.

A SINNER … DEC 5TH,2012

...

Mayor Rob Ford's ouster from office, is a serious sign,
Toronto has a dangerous political-power fault-line,
Where those who didn't like the mayor had him ousted from power,
And left the majority of the voters feeling quite sour.
...

Dying with dignity is about living life on our own terms,
When and if we get our euthanasia; this will be confirmed,
We should not need to go to court for permission to die,
To have some high court judge refuse while looking you in the eye.
