Abortions and death-with-dignity have a lot in common,
Both involve death and no debate in the Canadian Commons,
Because our party politicians have been told not to be involved,
Therefore none of these Canadian issues can be solved.
Add to that; we have no binding referendums or recall,
And as fare as assisted suicide is concerned; we can all crawl,
Then add to that; only half of Canadians bother to vote,
And the upper echelon in Ottawa is extremely remote.
Terribly sick humans denied a dignified death,
Sick with Alzheimer’s disease, look like taking their last breath,
Others have chronic degenerative diseases that defy,
Lou Gehrig’s disease as Sue Rodriguez had to suffer and die.
