Peace in our time

Peace in our Time

By

We have media with hidden special agenda,
Bend the truth with their own pompous propaganda,
Freedom of expression curbed so it’s no longer allowed,
Can’t see that cartoon so now we’re completely cowed.

The world could end and we’ll never know how or why,
And we’re not allowed to think or ask or even defy?
Is there a need for dialogue about peace in our time?
Where is Winston Churchill for this victimless crime?

Why bother to be involved, you might ask yourself twice,
We won’t stand up for ourselves because we’re so nice,
We have to do what we’re told because we’re all wimps,
Incoming terrorists not given a second glimpse.

Did the media cave in on freedom of expression?
Or was it just an illusion in their profession?
Is this like Pravda and their official censor?
Produced in the Soviet socialist condenser.

Would our moral capitulation be such a loss?
Is there a forbidden information line we can’t cross?
Who should we ask; what should we do; where should we turn?
Should we change religions in order to learn?

Will We Have to Change Soon?

By

James Bredin

If they riot and burn flags to get us on our knees,
And everyone bends backwards trying to appease,
And it’s about cartoons and a flag with a cross,
And some strange message they are trying to get across.

With multicultural policies we had it made,
But then we looked in the mirror and saw we were afraid,
We begged forgiveness for being what we are,
Apologies came from politicians near and far.

It’s moral capitulation of our values now,
No more multicultural policies somehow,
Is polygamy is no longer a crime or a sin,
Will feminists wear a burka just to fit in?

And nobody will be allowed to step out of line,
Multicultural bureaucracy not needed this time,
Because Canadian culture will not exist,
Because terrorists with rights will persist and insist.

While people in gridlock, stuck in traffic entombed,
Listen to the radio about riots and doom,
Receive the message of our complete capitulation,
Told what to think and what to say for their salvation.
