More on Human ABILITY to REASON, Human RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 187

 Most likely to be published later this winter of 2020/2021, my 11th book entitled appropriately; More Proems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters. The following will probably be included upon further editing, and front cover a slightly modified yet appropriate version of the previous....

PROEM & POEM No. 187 - Kennedy Half-Right, Half-Wrong

      During his 1961 inaugural speech, John F. Kennedy was marginally half-right, perhaps more so, extremely half-wrong. For ask NOT what your country can do for you. Agreed! However ask NOT what you can do for your country, but ask what you can do by yourself, for yourself and family, long before considering and endeavoring communal, national, economical, environmental and/or social issues.

      If each person pursues increased dependency on Self and decreased dependency on Government, then Individuality improves in character and well-being thus Community improves too in proportion. Conversely, if each person pursues decreased dependency on Self and increased dependency on Government, then Individuality declines in character and well-being thus Community declines too in proportion. 

      Histories including that of United States have proven this observably logical axiom over and over again. Both the violence in 21st century American streets per US political/social covetousness and the violence in 21st century Mideast streets per US political/military covetousness are relatively indicative. Such violence, always driven by covetousness, presumption then arrogance, disregards consistently the Singular Human Right to Consent or Dissent on all matters, in so doing disrespects constantly the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason.

Such bluster of rhetoric, dung-slung into clusters plethoric

Half-right, half-wrong, half-truths, half-lies until prevalent

Reverent upon degenerating reiteration per heads-a-talking

Inbred threads of hawking bits and lines as cocks-a-walking

---

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
