Trudeau's Charter Poem by James Bredin

Trudeau's Charter of Rights denies us the right to die,
You are forbidden to decide when, where, how or why,
If we the people had binding referendums, we could decide,
To get euthanasia when and where and if we wanted to die.

There is no doubt that the whole thing is locked in religious stuff,
Where preachers on pulpits or TV screens completely rebuff,
So gutless politicians and Ottawa appointees take their cue,
And we the people are treated askew and subdued.

Where those of us in severe death-pain are treated badly by bureaucracy
As if we were slaves and they were the dictatorial aristocracy.
The same crowd that allowed abortions, left and right, here and there.
Don’t you dare get assisted suicide, they announce and declare.
