HUMAN ABILITY to REASON, HUMAN RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 62

Most likely to be published 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. 62 - Individualism versus Constitutionalism / 1st Reprise

      Firstly, constitutions must be nothing other than concisely enumerated governmental powers, justified solely by unanimous consent, that is, consent by each and every individual, therefore all forgoing tolerably or agreeably the effected personal liberties. It is simply a power exchange, quite similar to the economizing thus reasoning between seller and buyer, hence ethical only if unanimously consented for the political barter, initially and continuously accepted among all involved parties else unethical as well tyrannical.

      Secondly, it is important to emphasize two unavoidable, ethical dilemmas regarding constitutions or any other governmental order, policy, law, tax, program, action, etc. Without unanimous consent initially, political arrangements cannot ethically commence. Without unanimous consent continuously, political arrangements cannot ethically maintain. If commenced and maintained without unanimous consent, political arrangements cannot be without disrespecting and disregarding the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason, inseparably the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent, of at least one if not a few, some or most.

Sixty-six thousand or so, fallen upon dirt, mud and snow

Blood flowed, slowed then dried amid revolutionary throes

“Don’t tread on me” the meme decreed o’er the dissented

So, ever the story of every fury holy hence mortally scented

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
