PROEM & POEM No. 13 - Tower of Babel / 2nd Reprise
---
The question begs to be asked. Should the ethical or theological indictment be levied solely upon King Nimrod’s nonsensical ends to “reach unto heaven”, and say nothing of the means for his unattainable purpose thus unsustainable project?
Whether it is a tower or any other government program deemed as heavenly, socially moral or just, even unalienably rightful, there are shared, coercive means to these ends. They share in fact the same coercive means as the most hellish ends imaginable to Man. To go further, consider these coercions rarely compared by minds propagandized and subsidized; Hitler’s 25-Point Plan then Final Solution versus Roosevelt’s New Deal then Executive Order 9066, Medicare and Veterans hospitals versus Fascistic or Communistic Socialism, 13th century Mongol conquests versus 21st (as well 20th) century American foreign wars, former USSR’s satellite states versus current U.S. territories, Putin’s alleged plan to reform an empire versus Lincoln’s accomplished plan to preserve an union, consequently to be consistent, Nimrod’s tower versus Solomon’s temple.
If respected and regarded the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason, inseparably the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent, then conversation towards consensus, not covetousness towards coercion.

Her hands held by his, over a cup of coffee priced-just
Twice the scorn if either forced, tendering not the trust
Flesh burns or warms, while the heart spurns or yearns
Likewise fairness is and earned by unanimous concerns
Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
