QUIET LIKE A SHEEP     …. JAN 4TH, 2015

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Our high-up politicians sometimes look down from above,

They've been told that doctor-assisted-death is something they can't love,

Like recall or binding referendums -- words never spoken,

Media mogul silence on these two subjects is never broken.

You can ask your candidate what he/she thinks about this?

And in case he/she doesn't know; tell him/her about the Swiss,

Or the five US states or the province of Quebec that have it now,

Though this is serious stuff but there's no need to cause a row.

But it is a graphic illustration of what we need to change,

So that, If you are going to die in pain; you can rearrange,

But you wont read about this in the papers so go back to sleep,

And don't mention this poem and be quiet like a sheep.
