Published in 2022 amid US Government's tyranny crescendo-ing to unprecedented magnitudes as done by many (if not all) presidential administrations and congressional classes, unchallenged by judicial benches, particularly those of 21st century (without exception), that is to say, my 12th book (3rd of trilogy thus 1st and 2nd, 3rd's TOC), entitled appropriately and exhaustively Propositions, Problems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters (May 2022)...
For two or three decades, it has been socially tolerable, acceptable even desirable to respect and regard sexual preferences(s), whether to sexually consent versus dissent as well various sexual persuasions. Prior, it was long argued in favor of “my body, my choice” regarding pregnancies, although ignoring the body and choice of the young person within the womb. It was hopeful per such newfound insight the logic would have incrementally, appropriately infiltrated other issues political, social, economical, personal, intellectual, spiritual, confidential and more. Dismally, only a few applied the principle to other aspects of life public and/or private, far fewer applied the same constantly, consistently, ceaselessly.
Why? Covetousness!
Thus
the same depravity manifested as organizational interests then agendas, social
justices then tactics, political planks then platforms, governmental policies
then laws, regulations, prohibitions, taxes, subsidies, grants, loans,
sanctions, embargoes, bans, wars and more. For covetousness is insatiable then
quite impatient. Insatiable; thus always seeking further ends to manipulatively and/or coercively obtain. Impatient; thus
always seeking further means of
manipulation and/or coercion. With that said, the respect then regard for each
and every person’s Singular Human Right to Consent or Dissent on all matters,
as inseparably manifested therefore concluded per each and every person’s
Peculiar Human Ability Reason, serves equally as the observable, logical,
consistent thus ethical subjugator of Covetousness.
Consent not only negates any ethical dilemma but preempts the self-serving urgency to scheme and embrace the use of force as well (per Proem & Poem No. 120). However upon encountering dissent, there germinates in the mind’s shadows the temptation to criminally, privately, socially, electorally, politically, militarily, that is to say, violently, forcefully impose upon those dissenting thus soon resenting perhaps later resisting. As Consideration flirts then dances with Temptation, the slow seductive song eventually if not expeditiously incites Covetousness ergo the sorted Imagination and the cohort’ed Presumption, while Narcissism mandates boldly, masturbates solely towards Arrogance’s obnoxious erection, indomitably, opprobriously of course bestially Aggression’s wanton ejaculation.
This digression concludes and manifests obviously as
the human activity of coercive exaction, unapologetic violence, categorically
maybe redundantly the aforementioned methods of force. Characteristically, the
brutal dynamic is in consistent disregard of the Singular Human Right to
Consent or Not Consent on all matters, inseparably in constant disrespect of
the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason.

O the academic squalls, the journalistic brawls, while all in throes
Amid inaugural balls, corporate banquets, each harlot `tween the rows
Every varlet as bedfellow, so they bellow, “Bestow the water as wine!
Who will question, who will know, who will betray then begrime?”
Sublime if to rid ourselves of political, social intervention
and intrusion
(The plain-speak perhaps less poetic, more stoic,
maybe epicure conviction)
And so the
friction betwixt the factions, tyrannical traction and momentum
Upon all economically distressed (and then), ergo the
Bukowskian factotum
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
