The Queen on HMCS St Laurent in Stockholm harbour 1956
BY
JAMES BREDIN
We have a great country but there is something very wrong,
The establishment opposed to doctor-assisted death is strong,
So death-with-dignity is banned and only mentioned behind closed doors,
It must be that party politicians have been told to ignore.
How is it possible to ban this subject for so long?
Why is death-with-dignity considered so sinful and wrong?
What can we do to get democracy back in this great land?
Where political binding referendums are also banned.
Where an election every five years may not be enough,
And the mere mention of death-with-dignity is considered too rough,
Unfortunately we seem to be caught in their grasp and can't change,
But if we had binding referendums, we could rearrange.
