ABILITY to REASON, RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 3

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. 3 - What Is Justification

      What is the justification of any arrangement intimate, private, philosophical, spiritual/theological, public, social or political between two persons or more if not Consent expressed by each individual? To go further, what is the justification of any arrangement between two dozen, two hundred, two thousand, two million or more people if not Consent expressed initially and continuously by each individual?

      Gravely unjust even inhumanely tyrannical is the arrangement if one or one million individuals do not give their Consent yet forced to remain in it. To respect and regard the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason, inseparably the Singular Human Right to Consent, is to also respect and regard the resulting Decision and Action to remain in or leave the arrangement.

Complexity oft airs as perspicacity, as well sagacity

Mendacity as veracity, winking at each inconsistency

Like some rare comedy, yet illogicality’s carousel

Repeating the pell-mell, till night’s toll of Edgar’s bell

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
