JUST GO FOR A WALK     NOV 17TH, 2014

BY

JAMES BREDIN

A vast majority of Canadians quietly agree,

That death-with-dignity should be in Canada and free,

Because dignified and painless death should be the way to go,

Not bowed in depressive pain and sorrow and feeling low.

Every poll taken shows that our vast majority agree,

That death-with-dignity is accepted by you and me,

But our politicians and judges take another view,

As though death-with-dignity was something they never heard or knew,

And this subject is treated with silence on Parliament Hill,

Can't discuss this death problem because they don't have the skill,

Will we ever know what they're up to and should we just not talk?

Don't ask, don't say a word and go to the nearest pub for a walk.
