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.
