ABILITY to REASON, RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 19

Most likely to be published sometime in 2018, my 10th book currently entitled; 100 Proems & Poems on the ABILITY to REASON, RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters. The following will probably be included upon further editing...


PROEM & POEM No. 19 - Conjured Lists


      The propensity to compile lists of morals and rights, as well to conjure excessively longer lists of laws, codes, ordinances and policies determined presumptuously, arbitrarily, intrusively, always lacking unanimous support (majority at most), have been among the gravest of misunderstandings and undertakings throughout history, and in so doing brutishly disrespecting even brutally disregarding the actual one moral, one right, one basis for law or code, and one social justice since the first encounter of two, three or more; the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason, inseparably the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent. 

      Intensified and perpetuated further the propensity, of course, by various lists of religious commandments, duties and rituals for the defining or recognizing of followers thereof. Now pause before retorting, for this critique is not atheistically motivated, rather, logically based on the obvious distinction between voluntary response and piety upon divine instruction, versus compulsory participation and imposition upon human presumption.

The utopian’s reverie, far more opiate than religion
Fancying his rumination for another’s progression
Believing to reprieve, as well behave the wretched
Yet defrayed by the knave more stayed as directed

---

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
