HUMAN ABILITY to REASON, HUMAN RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 36

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. 36 - Nature Amoral / 1st Reprise

      Clearly, Nature provides water by streams and lakes, meat by fish and game, wild grains, nuts and berries by fields, meadows and forests, however not always and not everywhere. These necessities for sustenance are not available for human consumption without much human labor. Simply, if someone is to eat, someone must work; fetch, dig, hunt, raise, gather, plow, etc. Meanwhile, Nature is judged neither kind nor cruel if one feasts or starves, rather, one’s labor is judged as either successful or unsuccessful.

      It is precisely here as one stands alone, lists or bills of rights become irrelevant even ridiculous for discussion. The arrogant may demand rights from God or Nature to be fed, clothed or housed, nevertheless a fool starved, naked and exposed. Therefore rights plural are not inherently natural or divine, rather quite arrogant and arbitrary, robbing by some from the labor of others. 

      It follows, rights are conjured, save the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent, hence either applicably erroneous (see Proems No. 19-21) or worst, requiring commodities and services’ availability by forceful measures. By so doing, the one aforementioned right of course is disregarded, inseparably disrespecting the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason.

His worst, headfirst seemingly, inescapably inclined
Her outburst, terse or not, side-pierced albeit sublime
Personalities fraught, begrimed, yet reason omnipresent
Ever-empirical-izing it’s zen, oft mistaken as quiescent

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
