HUMAN ABILITY to REASON, HUMAN RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 87

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. 87 - What Is Tyranny, What Is Slavery / 2nd Reprise

      What is Tyranny or Slavery? It is one's presumption to benefit by unilaterally exacted force from another's time or products of time (i.e. monies, possessions, properties, etc.) of course without the latter's consent. At length, it is one's presumption to benefit by unilaterally exacted force from another's exertions of all sorts physical, economical, sexual, intellectual, psychological, emotional, etc. of course without the latter's consent. 

      Work types, conditions, compensations and more do not affirm nor disaffirm tyranny or slavery. Work measured in hours, days, weeks, months, years or lifetimes do not affirm nor disaffirm tyranny or slavery. Work undesirable even inconvenient, difficult, intolerable, dangerous and more do not affirm nor disaffirm tyranny or slavery. Consequently, work per dire necessity so to sustain, that is to say, to eat, to clothe, to house and more, do not affirm nor disaffirm tyranny or slavery. Dissent alone affirms tyranny or slavery, that is to say, the disregard for the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent, inseparably the disrespect for the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason.

Liken unto Michelangelo’s canvas, the blessed satin
Their poetries reaching, touching o’er passions in Latin
Upon each “No!” the pause, then every “Yes!” the cause
Without laws the human consent hence sigh “¡La Paz!”

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
