PROEM & POEM No. 27 - To Consent Is Unalienable / 2nd Reprise
Yet over the centuries, societies’ theologians and thinkers fell short in determining the person’s humanity, resultantly governments’ founders and framers failed miserably in protecting the same. By their ill logic and poor governance, lists or bills formed, number of rights increased, further stirring controversy and muddying clarity. Four instances suffice the point.
Firstly, note the 4 that nature obliges thus “no one ought to harm” as asserted by John Locke in 1689; Life, Health, Liberty and Possessions. As vague Life, Health and Liberty were then as today, Mr. Locke included Possessions, more clearly understood over the other three, theoretically less vulnerable. However, Possession (or Property) has been and still is the one directly, flagrantly coveted and targeted per governments’ taxation, regulation, restriction, prohibition, confiscation, invasion, occupation and destruction, inescapably harming Life, Health and Liberty.
Secondly, Locke’s proposal were later plagiarized and modified into 3 rights by Thomas Jefferson in 1776; Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Obviously, Mr. Jefferson did not uphold Property as Mr. Lock, hence did not make the unalienable list. He was compelled however to expand two rights already vague, with a fantastically indefinable third. What precisely defines the pursuit of happiness deeming it absolutely unalienable, for there is no universal agreement among preferences near endless.

Bitten lip, smitten the sip, upon deeper kiss amid the fling
Or the grimace afore gin on chin, per miss at end of swing
When endeared to truths reheard until true, onward soothed
Hence blind in perpetuum to men-in-booths rarely sleuthed
---Bitten lip, smitten the sip, upon deeper kiss amid the fling
Or the grimace afore gin on chin, per miss at end of swing
When endeared to truths reheard until true, onward soothed
Hence blind in perpetuum to men-in-booths rarely sleuthed
Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
