HUMAN ABILITY to REASON, HUMAN RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 91

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. 91 - The Academic Bomb / 2nd Reprise


      The prevailing “How so?” (see Nos. 81-82) amasses and rises to anger, for unconvinced even insulted many are of any partisan persuasion,  by the following accusation restated. Underwritten by tax, compulsory by law (i.e. K-12), public education can be no less politic, therefore no less propagandistic, than any rhetoric or symbol per speeches, rallies, banners, flags, anthems, allegiances, other programs and more. As such and prerequisite to all evils particularly by government, disrespected and disregarded are the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason, inseparably the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent.

      The good citizen, the obedient subject and the sacrificial patriot are always the objectives of government, thus externally generous as internally anxious to educate the youth, the preferred means to the coveted ends. For truly coveted are individuals’ life, liberty and property, so much so, government will forcefully take them from individuals or cleverly convince individuals to give them up quite willingly. Hence effective, publicly funded institutions for all levels of education have transformed government’s objectives into social even religious virtues, that is, to be good, obedient and sacrificial towards political policies and privileges arbitrarily, presumptuously contrived and imposed, instead of personal principles and preferences logically, privately concluded and practiced.

“How so?”, so go their surveyors per the confiscation
So go their purveyors of agitprops per the indoctrination
Ah the revising of backdrops, the franchising to eavesdrop
Standing antennas as flags upon each and every rooftop

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
