Bureaucrats in Ottawa are forbidden to read this blog, <br />The death-with-dignity controversy cannot be seen through their fog, <br />No one in Toronto’s Queen’s Park can read it either, <br />And none of the other provinces have a great leader. <br /> <br />Politicians like to pretend that the issue doesn’t exist, <br />The party leader told them that this issue was dismissed, <br />They don’t seem to realize that they too will come face to face with death, <br />About the time they will be taking their eventual last breath. <br /> <br />The Americans have two states with assisted suicide now, <br />Just across the border from British Columbia somehow, <br />We are obviously missing something here that we can’t see, <br />Because of the fog so we can’t get together and agree?<br /><br />James Bredin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/death-with-dignity-fogm-april-28th-2013/
