HUMAN ABILITY to REASON, HUMAN RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 83

Most likely to be published later this spring of 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. 83 - What Is Murder, Rape, Slavery and Theft / 1st Reprise

      What is murder if not termination of human life without Consent? In contrast, what is assisted suicide if not termination of human life with Consent? Both questions of course imply the same act, the termination of life by one upon another, an act neither inherently ethical nor unethical. Rather, the act is conditionally ethical versus unethical as determined by the presence of mutual (or unanimous) Consent versus Dissent of merely one of the involved individuals.

      To go further, if termination of life is preferred or consented in form of suicide with or without assistance, yet forcefully prevented by political, social or religious intervention, is it not torturous at most, at least unethical. It is true, some religious or moral teachings encourage higher standards on this issue as well others; however the very same standards immediately lose ethical merit by disregarding the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent on all matters, in so doing, inseparably disrespecting the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason (see No. 24).

O the dearth in popular mirth held as righteous worth
Worst, vulgar gifts of uncultured gab expose, unearth
As well un-berth primitive brutes and instinctive beasts
Confuting truths mid goddamn fights, fucks and feasts

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
