HUMAN ABILITY to REASON, HUMAN RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 35

Most likely to be published sometime in latter 2017 or early 2018, my 10th book currently entitled; 100 Proems & Poems on the HUMAN ABILITY to REASON, HUMAN RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters. The following will probably be included upon further editing, and front cover below merely a working version....

PROEM & POEM No. 35 - Nature Amoral

      Firstly, is Nature cruel if one thirsts or starves in a desert or forest? Conversely, is Nature charitable if one drinks from a stream found, or feasts upon game hunted or berries/nuts gathered? Is Nature blessing or cursing if one is warmed by the tropic sun or chilled by the arctic wind? Comparatively, is Nature cursing or blessing if one is cooked by the Mississippi delta heat or cooled by the Massachusetts cape breeze?

      Secondly, is Nature duly obligated thus fair or unfair if one strengthens then lives versus suffers then dies? Is Nature so empowered to endow one with Rights; right to food, right to clothing, right to shelter thus right to live? Or is Nature simply what it is as one makes the best of it by human labor? 

      Thirdly, is Nature nothing more than neutral or amoral in which one exists yet well equipped with the Particular Human Ability to Reason for sustenance, maintenance even furtherance, inseparably expressed by the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent for communication, cohabitation even cooperation?

He thirsts, she starves, he carves verses by pen as sword
She scrawls curses on marked wall of dark hall to record
His verses fought perverse, her curses sought to re-hearse
Yet neither consents till either relents lest hubris amerces

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
