Can You Hear the Prison Gates Clang?

RE: Can You Hear the Pris

Remember the Cost

Get rid of the Liberals but do not forget
That Harper and friends might just be worse yet
Harper talks smooth but he's a madman they say
Who in bed with the Separtists now does lay

He said he'd find out what we wanted to do
before toppling the Liberals to get something new
but now he's trying to bring them on down
Though he's making folks angry all through the towns

We wanted to wait till the inquiry's done
but he's bringing them down for the sake of his fun
He doesn't care what we, the people, think
he's bringing them down, then having a drink

Cause he thinks were all pissed
so will get the Libs out and they won't be missed
and he'll get in power and soon we'll be screwed
cause that man is just too crazy and shrewd

He'll destroy our healthcare, break it in bits
and soon our environment will be simply the sh*ts
And once he's done that he'll send us to war
with whomever "W" has in store

And get us into that missile defense
and million of dollars soon will be spent
on something the people want not at all
and that will be our downfall

We will end up in an right good old mess
and soon the Republicans will profess
that they want to own us and then
Harper will sell us for small change to spend

So remember on Federal Election Day
To say that though the Liberals aren't here to stay
That the NDP are a a better alternative
to Harper and his right-wing fraternity

Vote NDP!!!!

Because Jack Layton is the only party leader left that's worthy of the name.

And that had to be the most awful political poetry ever written. Sorry.

 

[I think not]

I can't even come close to poetry like that. I liked it.

Be a Liberal Volunteer

By

James Bredin


There’s a rumor going around, they’re looking for volunteers,
To work for the Liberals and maybe make it a career,
To deliver unmarked envelopes to folk who are unnamed,
And never talk or feel in the least bit guilty or ashamed.

:wink:

You should be bilingual, multicultural and half blind,
And leave all common sense and decency far behind,
Disregard, dithering, nepotism and patronage galore,
Conspiracies, cronyism, incompetence and much more.

:twisted:

And don’t worry; the fix is in; you can never go to jail,
There’s that divine right of kings and you never need to get bail,
Just show your membership card and they will be so impressed,
They’ll do anything, vote for anyone at your request.

They are trying to Close Down Adscam

By

James Bredin

The Adscam Liberals appear to want everything centralized,
They feel this would be more in their favor and more civilized,
And without recall or elected Senate how could they be wrong?
We should act and walk in unison and sing the same song.

And without referendums we are married to their status quo,
That is except Quebec who also gets equalization dough,
And the occasional referendum to see if they’ll stay,
But we’re forbidden referendums and we always obey.

Though we’re taxed up to the eyes and no one ever acts surprised,
As they give and get our money in kickbacks, we might despise,
And we’re not allowed to question the appointments they make,
To the High Court or the Senate ‘cause they can’t make a mistake.

We practice subservience and it makes us feel so good,
Without questions or democracy that’s little understood,
And without term limits or even set-date elections,
Herded docile sheep waiting for the lions’ selections.

As they point their fingers from behind firewall protection,
Proclaim their perfection and try to avoid an election,
Try to close down Adscam inquiry because of the heat,
As their talking heads protect them and they’re not too discreet.

With a knife-edge majority

By

James Bredin

Did you watch the Adscam horror movie; it was a smash,
Envelopes stuffed with cash that were so easy to stash,
National interest meant nothing when weighed in the balance,
Of power, opportunism, ambition and arrogance.

Now they stick to the cherished Liberal Party script and pretend,
That Adscam Inquiry meant nothing and couldn’t offend,
Hypocrisy up to here whether you noticed it or not,
Unequal equalization, same-sex stuff, Kyoto – the lot.

Then they bought Belinda with a high cabinet post,
While they told us the people in Darfur could be toast,
And fellow traveling editors pumped out their propaganda,
Spun events with their wall t o wall Liberal agenda.

And you the invisible are not present when they decide,
How they will tax on tax and spend and travel free worldwide,
You are never in the room when any decisions are made,
Then they trumpet their programs and don’t you dare feel betrayed.

Federalist politicians pay that ransom to Quebec,
Slaves to the separatists with huge equalization check,
Because those they cannot lead; their allegiance they can buy,
Say it’s to save Confederation to justify the lie.

When in reality it is to save the Liberals’ hide,
While recalls, referendums and term limits are denied,
Their knife edge majority and conspiracy desperation,
As they push their power in the name of confederation.

RE: Can You Hear the Pris

What? No poems about Nixonesque tapings and evidence tampering? Come on James, we expect a certain level of bipartisanship from you.

Give him time, there is so much material to work with that he needs to take the appropriate amount of time to make his points, which I am sure he will with his usual degree of perfect accuracy. :evil:

Mysterious Mandarin Ministers

By

James Bredin

Mysterious mandarins and ministers in Montreal care,
Meeting other Liberal moguls in their favorite lounge lair,
Their wall to wall arrogance while pleasantries are exchanged,
And power, their ultimate aphrodisiac, is arranged.

Their appointees like monarchs will always rule both night and day,
Got where they are without questions on the Liberals’ say,
They’ll decide Kyoto and same-sex stuff like they do a lot,
In this mentally challenged land that god seems to have forgot.

Secrets squirreled away and hidden inside the Access Act,
Money squirreled away too in fourteen foundations intact,
With a phalanx of pompous civil servants guarding the door,
The end always justifies the means and the Liberals score.

And you will love it because their editors wrote it so,
Buy their unity with billions of your equalization dough,
Not allowed to find fault with this conspiracy Adscam crowd,
It is your duty to vote for them and always feel proud.

They always scream how great it was that Trudeau wrote his Charter
Though Quebec didn’t sign on and this was not a disaster,
Their top-down centralized Ottawa system is so great,
No need for provinces and only they may decide to debate.

Still nothing on secret recordings and doctoring tapes, James?
