Defining our culture is of prime concern;
This requires viable, social opportunity;
Like, how well do we relate to one another?
Are there meaningful interactions outside ones culture?
Do we see ourselves as Canadian sister or brother?
Which of us feel locked outside, Canada's social structure?
Being Canadian is more than acting nice and polite.
We shouldn't procrastinate on such issues;
This is not about political left or right.
But ignoring them will have us crying in tissues.
Canada is not just anyone's oyster;
It's a pearl for the collective wealthy immigrant.
Cultural groups have power in cloisters;
A trade off for being, Liberal or Conservative constituent.
What about Canada as speakers of English or French?
What about Canada's First Nations, Inuit, or Metis?
Language has the power to culturally entrench!
Should we all learn Mandarin or Punjabi?
Politicians lack the guts for discussing cultural unity;
This is why ordinary Canadians must exert pressure.
Don't let your politicians operate with impunity.
Use your vote as a political measure!
One person can't make a difference you say?
But it's OK to send off our troops to be killed in war!
Being involved in your country's politics is the way;
To strengthen Canada, without blood or gore!
But I can't stand politics, you whine;
I feel insignificant and full of emotion!
It's the selfish, who can't spare the time;
Defining Canada, should be our sole devotion!
You ask, why should I chance being called, racist swine;
Yet you harbor resentment, because of personal inaction.
You blame immigrant cultures for our economic decline;
When Canada's politicians created our global detraction!
Canadian culture begins in our schools;
Weak Canadian identity caused us to falter.
English and French should be taught as a rule;
And Indigenous history our Rock of Gibraltar.
That political immigration, did not discern.
