A SUBJECT NEVER DISCUSSED … APR 2ND, 2015

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Our Ottawa politicians should realize by now,

Their death-with-dignity attitude could cause an awful row,

And doctor assisted death should be legal for us to die,

Though they won't discuss this subject and I don't know why.

Why have we run into this death-with-dignity barricade?

Is this a form of our democracy that has gone to fade?

I guess this is not important unless you are slated to die,

And if you are going to do that in pain; you might wonder why.

Both a good economy and democracy are crucial,

Though the lack of death-with-dignity could be brutal,

Because we don't know the schedule of when we will die,

Because we could die in great pain looking up at the sky.
