My Death

My Death

By

James Bredin

I hope Marion finds me dead in the year twenty forty two,
Out the backyard among the summer flowers out of view,
She’ll be ninety six by then and me dead at a hundred and five,
Up to that time, I hope we’re both very much alive.

My grandkids and their kids can come and wave good bye,
As I get buried in Scarborough Pine Hills Cemetery nearby,
Near Don Sargent and Otto Maier and a few others,
Lived nearby on Tansley Avenue as if we were brothers.


No big deal except that then, I won’t be around any more,
Long deleted memories, here and there and many foreign shores,
Because I’m not very religious and believe that that’s that,
I’m finished and no one ever got a second kick at the cat.

Afghanistan and Somalia

Afghanistan and Somalia

By

James Bredin

Afghanistan like Somalia should be left to evolve,
So they can ensure their religious issues are all solved,
And left wing UN socialists will be so thankful and pleased,
They want us in Africa immediately and all guns seized.

Because there’s genocide in Sudan and Darfur over there,
The UN says if we go, we could be their heroes in this affair,
Not like Afghanistan where we’re getting shot by the score,
Go bring aid to Africa and not Afghanistan no more.

Just leave Afghanistan like Somalia post Blackhawk Down,
Let the place slowly disintegrate and let the UN frown,
While left-wing communist journalists tend to pontificate.
They should all go to Darfur and try to administrate.

Because they pump their propaganda nightly on TV,
Socialists shouting their righteous ethics at you and me,
Want our soldiers in Africa to fight for their lost cause,
Maybe bring back some more aids refugees just because.

Because people can be manoeuvred like a large herd of sheep,
These disguised communists as socialists and we’re half asleep,
And if you’ve read these poems then you’ve led a sheltered life,
Mostly managed by left wing media without much strife.

Change the Canadian System

Change the Canadian System

By

James Bredin


According to their statistics, Canadians love being taxed,
Though forbidden to change the social system we’re quite relaxed,
Tax-and-spend politicians can fool around and double their pay,
Travel to exotic places that are very far away any day.

An election, maybe every five years, makes everything great,
No referendums, no recall where only politicians debate,
So we walk in lock step for five years of their mistakes,
Can’t change a thing no matter how much it pains or aches.


In this cult of no-change we all behave like a flock of sheep,
Being led to the scandal slaughter house and there’s no need to weep,
Proportional representation will never be allowed,
You will tolerate, first past the post, and stay quiet and cowed.

UN, AIDS, Africa, Canada

UN, AIDS, Africa, Canada

By

James Bredin

The UN wants us in Sub Sahara Africa and soon,
But call it peacekeepeing as we fight battles every afternoon,
Half a dozen of those places seem to be in a constant war,
Mix in starvation and aids; therefore the UN just can’t ignore.

And they want lots of Canadians in on the action now,
Even before we leave Afghanistan if time will allow,
We were in Rwanda and Somalia and had to back down,
We are fully aware of the American Blackhawk down.

Bring a million aids refugees here to show we’re sincere,
They could join the thousands left by the UN aids conference here,
No one got deported so we must be aids plague immune,
And it’s the UN aids agenda that will be our misfortune.

It’s human rights – not war or aids – that this is all about,
It’s not religion no matter how loud the UN imams shout,
Because the UN agenda is more important than dead soldiers,
We have to obey their commands like subservient stakeholders.

UN Canadian Wars

UN Canadian Wars

By

James Bredin

Why do we feel compelled to go overseas to do good?
As missionaries or UN peacekeepers -- all misunderstood,
Trying to battle religious warlords, hunger and disease,
When they don’t want us and shoot us dead and never say please.


Why should we be involved in their constant religious wars?
Disguised as peacekeeping soldiers on foreign far distant shores,
While politicians refuse to see the writing on the wall,
Caught up in their own power and importance and all enthralled.

I have a respectful suggestion; we take our soldiers home,
Give them some shiny medals and tell them, no more need to roam,
No need to be carried dead in a casket by eight of their friends,
No need to be buried in their hometown just to follow the trends.

And if the UN says they need help, why should we feel compelled?
Going off to get shot, friendly fired on, bombed and even shelled,
And we should decide to cut back on far-flung UN foreign aid,
Why should we be so subservient and then get UN betrayed?

They want to go to Africa now and help the poor people there,
Bring back orphans and aids refugees that are in despair,
All international Kyoto communist disguised agenda,
Goody-two-shoe socialist and pompous propaganda.

The Socialists in Our Midst

The Socialists in our Midst

By

James Bredin

They give each other fancy awards for no apparent reason,
For righteous left-wing UN issues in the sky or the season,
Then lap dog journalists pump our their media propaganda,
International UN socialist communist agenda.

And you thought the Commies were all gone with the old cold war,
But their same issues, Marxist schemes are hidden in a drawer,
They now talk of social justice – such a nice catch-all phrase,
Fellow travelers and feminists flaunting their UN displays.

And no one will ask why they want so badly to appease?
Or if incoming aids refugees have a contagious disease?
Left over from the UN Aids Conference a few months ago,
Why they can’t be deported, we’re not allowed to know.

National binding referendums and recall are not allowed,
Not by Ottawa or this UN left wing communist crowd,
Because they love Kyoto and every left wing UN scheme,
And you are not allowed to even think that this is extreme.

Pictures of them at banquets with friends and smiles,
Claiming they want to help children in the African wilds,
And they want to change any and all our government agenda,
With their left wing communist UN pompous propaganda.

Unwed mothers, aids and Charter Rights

Unwed Mothers, Aids and Charter Rights

By

James Bredin

Fourteen unwed mothers arrived in Toronto last night,
Declared that they were refugees to everyone’s delight,
Wanted Charter Rights for themselves and all their huge brood,
Demanded an apartment with a view, money and their food.

Politically correct activists thought this was great,
Trudeau wrote the Charter so no need to think or to debate,
As unwed mothers of the world prepare to beat a track here,
And international goody-two-shoe socialists wear a leer.

They can join the incoming aids refugees already here,
Left over from the UN aids Conference without fear,
Day after day we are treated to communist philosophies,
Make believe world of righteousness without atrocities.

Propaganda of the pampered to make sure we’re on track,
Hundreds of journalists trained like a socialist wolf pack,
Not allowed to look at our future or the writing on the wall,
Where society as we know it may not only change but fall.

Sharia Law Here

Sharia Law Here

By

James Bredin


The terrorist refugee can’t be deported back for fear,
That he might be tortured or mistreated so he’ll stay here,
His lawyers and judges are all Charter Rights machines,
They call it a security certificate case, whatever that means.

So now it appears all terrorists and their families can stay,
Come to soft-in-the-head Canada and no need to go away,
And their hundreds of children can go to religious schools,
Will we eventually learn the hard way that we might be the fools?

In time, there may be more of them than there are of us,
And their numerous MPs in parliament could all cause a fuss,
They might want Sharia laws imposed and that could be tough,
The black burkas to the ground for feminists could have it rough.

And for the crime of theft, a thief you could loose one hand,
Adulterous wives could be stoned to death on command of an imam,
These political changes might eventually cause some hurt,
If weak politically correct activists turn into converts.

Am I the only one who can’t read the writing on the wall?
What does it say, in a strange backward leaning scrawl?
Is this what happens when our rock-hard system can’t be changed?
And binding referendums or recall we refuse to arrange.

Janjaweed

Janjaweed Places in Africa

By

James Bredin

Half a dozen places in Africa are putting on a savage show,
Something like what happened in Rwanda ten years ago,
And once again the UN wants us there to stop the killing spree,
Some are inclined to blame a crowd called the Janjaweed.

Various ethnic groups and tribes being completely wiped out,
Close to half a million shot and killed by now or there about,
It’s been called ethnic cleansing and genocide – it depends,
But it’s really religion and who’s talking and who’s their friends?

No matter which way you look at it; it’s an awful mess,
And into the middle of this the UN wants Canada and the US,
And bring lots of drugs because half the people there have aids,
Then decide whose side you’re on as you listen to their tirades.

Left-wing media propaganda

Left-wing propaganda

By

James Bredin

Left-wing journalists pumping out their communist stuff,
Front page every day as if we never get enough,
Child poverty, Africa and aids-refugees is their shtick,
International socialist goals and they want it all fixed quick.

Editorial pages and opinion pages filled with their spiel,
Commissars with a real agenda they carefully conceal,
Day after day, week after week, it’s never enough,
Like missionaries from god they just keep pushing their stuff.

Campaigns funded by very rich fellow travelers in league,
Politically correct UN Kyoto agenda intrigue,
And our extortionate taxes should be raised for their goal,
Because their international agenda, we’ll have to bankroll.

Their untouchable system is not allowed to change,
No binding referendums or recall will ever be arranged,
Compelled to join an organization and you don’t have a choice,
But pro choice and SSM for them and we’re compelled to rejoice.

The Biased Media

The Biased Media

By

James Bredin

They analysed the media to see if they were biased or not,
Because of leading twisted news that ties us a knot,
As they continue to deny what we’ve all known for years,
And they keep telling us what they and the UN want us to hear.

The CBC has an agenda to ensure things stay where the are,
Vast expensive bureaucracy more than slightly bizarre,
And each newspaper has its own favourite hidden plan,
Crime, SSM, justice, war, propaganda for the common man.

And despite all this, we seem lacking in real leadership,
The media and papers don’t mind if they have readership,
Multi cultural, multi lingual multi this and all that,
Lost somewhere out there in Afghanistan in mortal combat.

Caskets by the score arriving every night and day,
Dead soldiers returning home from that deadly UN fray,
As they all seem to duck the question: why did they die?
Without binding referendums we may never know why.

What could influence your decisions

What Could Influence your Decisions?

By

James Bredin

The polling companies ask several leading questions,
Biased towards their friends with a few slight suggestions,
Improper phrasing of these suggestions so their polls are skewed,
Then they publish their special findings of what you conclude.

They want to herd us together like a flock of their sheep,
This way or that way or their way to make us creep and cheap,
Then the mainstream media and the CBC try to set it in cement,
To influence us this way or that way and tell us we’re content.

As we are coerced towards their socialist communist causes,
Ideologically bent and biased and beholden in hidden clauses,
Their survey shows that their special-interest groups are right,
And their activists are even here on the web with great delight.

North American Unification

By

James Bredin

Is North American unification a go or not?
Is this good or something someone said and then forgot?
Can we trust our politicians as they strut up and down?
How about sovereignty, the border, allegiance to the crown?

How about medicare in case, God forbid, I or mine get sick?
Is it possible that all this could be some political trick?
How about bureaucrats who tend to always interfere?
Quote statistics, write reports that are never really clear.

What about leadership; does anyone up there even care?
Has the media or CBC mentioned this or are they even aware?
What about Ottawa; what would happen over there?
Would they move to Washington and become a major player?

Is this good or bad or should we just up and shut up?
Should we tell our politicians to go ahead or back up?
Should we have a referendum on this important topic?
They’re busy attending a meeting somewhere in the tropics.

Republic Of Canada -> Canadian Election System

Republic Of Canada -> Canadian Election System

Canadian Voting

Voting

By

James Bredin

We should be enthused about voting in this democracy,
And those who don’t or refuse, should be taxed accordingly,
Otherwise, special-interest media bias wins the day,
And their possible corrupt politicians are paid to play.

Therefore those who bother to vote should be given some proof,
To put in with their tax return and feel a little aloof,
At least a hundred dollar break on their dreadful income tax,
So they feel democracy is worth it and maybe relax.

It may not change the system but it will change politicians
Because more than twenty percent will vote in these conditions,
And if these small changes are allowed, I can think of more,
Australians are required to vote and they know the score.

War Torn Places

War Torn Places

By

James Bredin

UN peacekeeping in Rwanda, Somalia and Srebrenica failed,
The same thing happening in Afghanistan so time we bailed,
Peacekeeping is a nice name for a war and we all agree,
But without a front line and lines of coffins on nightly TV.

We need referendums and recall for politicians now,
A system to change and not have to wait till we’re allowed,
Why should we behave and believe like we’re half asleep?
Democracy means nothing when we act like a flock of sheep.

Wall to wall propaganda we are fed both day and night,
Politically correct and pompously polite and so right,
And if you have to think about this, you are obviously wrong,
So quickly and quietly believe and join the gung-ho throng.

The UN has other peacekeeping places if we only concur,
The usual war in Somalia the Congo or Darfur,
The UN has a list of other places they’d like to interfere,
Call it peacekeeping on some war torn distant frontier.

Toronto the Good and the Bad

Toronto the Good and the Bad

By

James Bredin


They want to tear down the Gardner Expressway now,
And they want us all to accept their findings and allow,
When at last they told us about their billion dollar plans,
Have to double your taxes; now those in favor put up your hands.

Because the Gardner is now spoiling their view of the Lake,
And the noise is a mistake and keeping some of them awake,
Just the study cost a million dollars and that was a steal,
But the final unknown overall cost is still tightly concealed.

They have now proposed a flat ten-lane highway instead,
With drawings of a tree lined avenue on a big wide spread,
With pedestrians and few cars -- out of touch with reality,
A graphic illustration of their out of touch mentality.

The Gardner traffic is in almost total gridlock right now,
This constant rush-hour traffic will have to go somewhere else somehow,
And if half the city has to close down, that’s just too bad,
They want their view of Lake Ontario and that’s quite sad.

Another illustration of a lack of leadership here,
From councilors to the mayor to the provincial premier,
Someone somewhere should stand up and tell them where to go,
The answer to their question about the Gardner is a big fat no.

Republic Of Canada -> Liberal Problems

Canadian Liberal Politicians

Canadian Liberal Politicians

By

James Bredin

Wall to wall left wing Liberal propaganda up to our eyes,
In their papers, on TV, CBC radio and there’s no surprise,
Or the truth with a twist to justify secret Liberal list,
Of their judicial appointees that you completely missed.

They are now having a leadership conference somewhere out there,
To pretend that they are normal and not a bunch of millionaires,
Pompous proud political people reluctant to change,
Delay all elections but recall or referendums banned as strange.

And adscam never happened because they all made bail,
Their Liberal judicial appointees came through without fail,
So they denied that they were caught forking missing money,
Under the table adscam style to friends – not very funny.

And still they have their followers like committed little commies,
Left wing political activists who think like brain-dead mummies,
Their leadership conference may not be a conference at all,
They are contemplating more taxation and having a ball.

Ontario Liberal Politicians

Ontario Liberal Politicians

By

James Bredin

It seems that all Ontario Liberal politicians lie,
And when they do this they sometimes look up at the sky,
And they expect us to believe them and I don’t know why,
They want to stay in power forever and never say goodbye.

The illusion of “we the people” pushed time and time again,
Elitist arrogant special interest Liberals who condemn,
Referendums or proportional representation refused,
Plus recall of these politicians and they are not amused.

McGinty is a prime example of how things can go weird,
After Mike Harris Conservatives seem to have disappeared,
Liberal lies on top of lies and our taxes go sky high,
We got what we deserved while in Liberal hell we fry.

Like religious fanatics they are convinced they are right,
And we should go along with them and show some delight,
How do we change the system when they say that we can’t?
They like it the way it is as they continue their rant.

They promised not to interfere with the electric rate,
Then they increased it immediately on the very next bill date,
They said they would ease gridlock but instead made it worse,
Then they doubled our taxes; this awful Liberal curse.

Then they convinced themselves that they did a great job,
And a person who can’t see it is obviously a knob,
We can’t get referendums and recall in this illusion,
They forbid all changes and that’s their final conclusion.

They have until the next election to continue doing zip,
Increase taxes again and hold onto their power grip,
They set this election date years ago to help their illusion,
If we vote them out of office we’ll get rid of their confusion.

Saddam

Saddam

By

James Bredin

I think the case against Saddam has gone on long enough,
How much evidence do they need amid all that courtroom stuff?
The longer this case goes on, the more futile it appears,
When will it be a tourist attraction with all those souvenirs?

When and if they release Saddam, he’ll be looking for a job,
He could join the UN, Washington, Ottawa or Toronto mob,
We need some leadership in Toronto and he knows the score,
And City Hall committee meetings would never be a bore.

We have too many wishy washy politicians hanging around,
We need a dictator with balls and guts who is not a clown,
At Toronto Airport he could declare that he’s a refugee,
With Charter Rights and we all have to bow our heads and agree.

Saddam would tell them where to go and us what we need to know,
About panhandlers, beggars, and homeless who put on a show,
And hanging around and sleeping in doors will just have to stop,
It’s go home, get a job and no more sleeping, begging or flip flop.

And criminals who try to strut their stuff would go straight to jail,
Due process and lots of convictions would prevail with no bail,
And everything would run neatly and the trains would run on time,
Like the old days before we had no politically correct slime.
