HUMAN ABILITY to REASON, HUMAN RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 100

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. 100 - So What Is Individualism / Reprise ~


      As part of any family, clan, social club, religious organization, ideological institution, school or university, political party or government, country or union, a person never ceases to be individual. Even upon acquiescing and subjecting individuality to collectivity, a person never ceases to reason thus consent (or not) to arrangements, that is, weighing cost versus benefit among options, whether under threat of nonpolitical violence or political force versus the absence of the same. Such naturally logical deliberations by innately reasonable individuals precede and coincide all collective arrangements, for both initial and continual participation. Collective action thus existence depends on individual action thus existence. If not so, then why Collectives’ ever-present and ever-growing expense to convince as well coerce consenting as well ever-present and ever-growing dissenting Individuals.

      Again, for as much those among polity reason and consent to “this or that” for themselves and presumptuously on behalf of others, so equally do those among the citizenry reason and consent to “that or this” for themselves. Empirically inescapable the conflict between political presumption versus personal prerogative, for each and every person inwardly expects as well outwardly demands the respect and regard for their own Peculiar Human Ability to Reason, inseparably the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent.

O Pax Humanum, carissimum te esse mibi; deleteriously
Injuriously thus he and she, Libertatem; goddamn Tyrannies
Isms of all inhumane sorts upon adroit purports per cohorts
Exploiting as exploited, drones and androids bribed by torts

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
