No Charter Rights to die
No Charter Rights to Die
By
James Bredin
We have Charter Rights to life but no Charter Rights to die,
We have to wait around to get old and sick and I don’t know why,
And unless you’re a fetus, you have these Charter Rights for life,
But if you are a fetus, they can cut you out with a sharp knife.
We’re allowed to arrange everything in life except how we leave,
We have to wait until we come down with some trauma or disease,
I propose that those in their eighties should be given the chance,
At euthanasia that could circumvent some sick circumstance.
No righteous goody-two-shoe religion if someone wants to go,
Change the Charter to a democratic quid pro quo,
Take this life-and-death issue to the Supreme Court this time,
Tell all the doctors that assisted suicide is not a crime.
If you believe in eternal life, that’s up to you, so keep the faith,
But don’t interfere with others who may want this debate,
Because it’s just a matter of time and we’ll all be dead,
So change the Charter soon and we’ll be that much more ahead.
