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. 197 - My Life Matters! / 1st Reprise
At end of day, regardless who we are, the color of skin, place of origin, lot in life, preference of identity, persuasion of politics, level of education, choice of profession, pursuit of philosophy, prayer of faith and more, deep within us all there screams with all passion that could be mustered, with all knowledge that could be studied, with all logic that could be observed, with all ethic that could be confirmed, with all consistency that could be affirmed, with all urgency that could be defended; my life matters!
So much so, the continuing economic shutdowns (of year 2020 a.k.a. The Great Oppression), as well mandates for masks and social distancing then forthcoming vaccine, the escalating protest, riot, trespass, theft, threat, destruction, arson, rape, murder, and the perpetuating polity covetously, presumptuously thus selfishly played by every partisan of both major parties in recent years upon distant decades, are all starkly even violently contrary to the Singular Human Propensity, Prerogative therefore Right deeply rooted within each of our lives that matter; the persistence even insistence to Consent or Dissent on all matters.
---
All weapons squared, as affairs’ mysteries till well ended
In gravest fanfares, of bloody phlegm in flows portended
Violence therefore held, in causality’s escrow till impelled
From ominous festers, to noxious sequesters, thus swelled
---
Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
