MY ALLEGIANCE - The Abandoned Project / Canto XXVI

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 XXVI - O Violence, The Devil


Socialism is the expression of the principle of violence
crying from the workers' soul, just as Imperialism is the
principle of violence speaking from the soul of the official
and the soldier.

Ludwig von Mises (economist/philosopher, 1881-1973)
Socialism: An Economic/Sociological Analysis (book, 1922)


(every ism save one)
O violence, the devil, liberty's archest of rivals
Rendering impractical economies' survival
Hence pocket pilfered prior to coin chronicled

(neo-liberalism)
Alas, fated convergence of presumptive modes
Impishly so, atop humanity's pole mid crossroads
Hedged high by erratic laws per immoral codes

(neo-conservatism)
Arrogant the ways and pompous the means
Such causalities by perpetuation of poli-schemes
Fitly, citizenry drugged by promulgation of these

(centralism)
Praising polities' policies upon raising reveries
Revering the military's compounded complexities
Ah, vexes in societies by hexes in philosophies

(classical liberalism)
Observe the oracles written in stones hewed
Ascribed by tread of foot, sandal, boot and shoe
Mused by peace mid liberty, man's fire and fuse

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
