MY ALLEGIANCE - The Abandoned Project / Canto V

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 (in the bonus section) upon further editing, and front cover below merely a working version....

CANTO V - Germ of Hatred and War

That this system (see previous poem/quotes) results only

in setting all branches of commerce as enemies against

one another, in nourishing among nations a germ of

hatred and of war...

Anne-Robert-Jacques Turgot (statesman, 1727-1781)

The Turgot Collection (book)

Video and audio as per bite then babble

Regurgitation by the inconsistent samples

Arbitrary ramble for convenient scandal

By the federalist and centralist conjoined

Hence whoring within the corporatist's loins

All swaddling in blood-spangled banners

Coveting then suckling in various manners

Of individual glamor by private labor

(Skill along hammer, corn among coins

Human actions enjoin the mortal threads

Ah, sweat on forehead, callous on hands

No malice, instead, plow in vested land)

Rather, laws are read, as few sages expected

Yet the dread unavoidable, dead inevitable

“O say”, the claimers, defamers, emulators

Hence simulators of manufactured threats

For factories of debt, to array the brakes

Withal minion drakes, to take and to carry

By ferry so to tarry, the youth thus honed

As clones devoted and humans demoted

From souls thrown in units by death-row

Anon strewn as pillars cold in ruins of old

Broken collaterally as tokens, unilaterally

Per unspoken reasons smoked, seasoned

Fitly proclaimed o'er patriotic flames

Gamed then maimed, hence later famed

The sons and daughters as fallen heroes

Yet earlier as fodder amid war's sorrows

(While alma maters overflowed bacchanal)

Shit! two incalculable goddamn costs

Twain streams lost, one mortally eternal

Whilst another as materially temporal

Regrettably, the latter unrecoverable

Lamentably, the former unforgivable

O fuck the curse of fettered commerce

Thus reverse by emancipation's converse

To free the market is to free the people

Alas peace's potential!

¡Ay paz potencialmente!

…of which even the lightest effects are a thousand times more

costly to the people, more destructive of wealth, population

and happiness, than all those paltry mercantile profits which

people fancy they will ensure benefit the nations which allow

themselves to be misled.
