Permanent Bureaucrasy
The permanent bureaucracy takes over though we are agog,
Soon after an election we have to go back into the fog,
And all decisions are arms-length so no one is now involved,
And nothing or no one can change the system to be resolved.
It seems there is nothing we can do about lying politicians,
As they tax and spend and ban binding-referendum conditions,
No compulsory voting where death with dignity is banned,
Elections and appointments and no one seems to give a damn.
Media in league and no questions please, as we get what we deserve,
And why can't we do something about it as we sit and observe?
Is this the reason why only half the Canadians bother to vote?
Or is it because they live out in the woods and are very remote?
Is it possible we could get death with dignity and recall?
I mean recall of pompous lying politicians in the hall,
What about set-date elections which they seem to have forgotten?
Just another item to show them as completely rotten.
