ABILITY to REASON, RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 2

To be published in late fall of 2017, perhaps winter of 2018, my 10th book currently entitled; 100 Proems & Poems on the ABILITY to REASON, RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters. The following will most likely be included upon further editing...

PROEM & POEM No. 2 - What Is Tyranny
 

      What is morality or ethic without consistency if not individual prerogative, mere arbitrariness even heedless whimsy?  Logically, consistency demands exhaustive inquires similar to what was asked of murder, rape slavery and theft (see Proem & Poem No.1). 

      More broadly, what is tyranny if not any governance without Consent? It matters not the form, whether it is theocracy, monocracy, plutocracy, perhaps oligarchy, democracy, ochlocracy or another, only unanimous Consent initially and continuously determines the arrangement as tolerable, acceptable, desirable, justifiable even ethical. If unanimous Consent minus simply one, two, three or more individuals, then intolerable, unacceptable, undesirable, unjustifiable even unethical.

      By presumptuous design or logical devolution, tyranny appears in various disguises, however discernible by the disrespect and disregard of others, that is, the disrespect and disregard of the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason, inseparably the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent.

Questions hued then honed for common consumption
Subsumption of truths-on-stones within the presumption
Contemptuousness upon covetousness sweetly hymned
Deceitfully prim, thus all be damned while bedimmed

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
