War, Canada, AIDS and HIV




War, Canada, AIDS and HIV

By

James Bredin

Apparently we don’t mind a war so long as it’s far away,
A plague we don’t mine either and aids refugees can stay,
Because we believe we’re immune to this contagious disease,
We’re politically correct and we’ll do anything to please.

The UN and some politicians want us in Africa soon,
Preferably by early next week or Thursday afternoon,
If we pull out of Afghanistan, it’s Darfur or Chad,
It’s somewhere in Africa – we don’t know – but we’re quite mad.

The UN has our schedule written up and posted on a wall,
And we, the Canadian people, have no sovereignty at all,
Our politicians prefer secrecy to cover their tracks,
Open government is anathema as they spend and they tax.

No recall, no referendums, no access to information,
More refugees with aids making more refugee applications,
They have Charter Rights while we check if we have their HIV,
Aids is not a nice way to die and I’m sure you’ll agree.

There was a rumor once that a refugee got deported,
But that was all it was – no name, no place, was ever reported,
Everything is done in this cloak and bureaucrat style,
No questions, no answers and bureaucrats don’t smile.
