Democracy and appointed senators-for-life don’t mix, <br />Regardless of official propaganda and claims they can fix, <br />But should we delete the appointed-for-life useless Red Chamber? <br />Could we change them and make them useful and what is the danger? <br /> <br />Canadians need a democratic political solution soon, <br />It’s been said, the appointed Red Chamber could brings us to ruin, <br />Someone has decided that a proper audit should be done, <br />Extensive global and national travel expenses are no fun. <br /> <br />Could we insert death-with-dignity into Senate obligations? <br />And eliminate most of our appointed-Senate frustrations? <br />Connected to a binding referendum system for us all? <br />Bring back real democracy and avoid a political brawl. <br /> <br />I realize that that these proposals are too radical for them, <br />Some appointed holy religious type will stand up and condemn, <br />They don’t want us to have death-with-dignity when we die, <br />And they certainly don’t want us to stand up and ask why.<br /><br />James Bredin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/democracy-and-death-with-dignity/
