HUMAN ABILITY to REASON, HUMAN RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 84

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. 84 - What Is Murder, Rape, Slavery and Theft / 2nd Reprise

      Consequently, what are rape, slavery and theft if not sexual activity, employment, labor, duty as well barter, purchase, loan, gift, charity, and all other exchanges without Consent? In contrast, what are procreation and recreational intercourse, compensated and volunteered work, frugal and extravagant transactions, if not activities involving two or more with unanimous Consent. Questions, both initially and inversely, imply the same acts neither inherently ethical nor unethical. Rather, acts are 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 these aforementioned acts are preferred or consented, yet forcefully prevented by political, social or religious intervention, is it not intrusion, imposition even deprivation at most, at least unethical. It is true, some religious or moral teachings encourage higher standards on these issues 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).

Ah the inhumane deprivation by the individual’s dehydration
Then suffocation per domineered winters’ vile purifications
Laden with crony-bandoleers, enslaved to pledge “Te Deum”
Recanting all causations by tainting of just one man’s freedom

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
