THINGS WE SHOULD HAVE …..       SEP 17TH, 2014

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Can't live forever so one of these days, I'm going to die,

It's not important though I'd like to know the when, where and why,

Though many preachers, priests and politicians oppose this need,

They are impressed by their own importance and just want to lead.

But several US states and Quebec have death with dignity now,

But our politicians and judges look at this as causing a row,

We don't have binding referendums so we can't get their attention,

They look at the mere mention of these ideas as causing tension.

Of course you don't know because you have never read it or been told,

Subjects like this are forbidden and left out in the cold,

Like binding referendums -- never mentioned in the press,

Things we should have but we have to be satisfied with less.
