More on Human ABILITY to REASON, Human RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 102

Most likely to be published later this summer of 2019, my 11th book entitled appropriately; More 100 Proems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters. The following will probably be included upon further editing, and front cover a slightly modified yet appropriate version of the previous....

PROEM & POEM No. 102 - What Is Politics / 1st Reprise

      To exemplify for a moment, 20th/21st century American society have considered marijuana from political/social toleration to regulation, taxation, with increases of both followed by eventual prohibition, until the recently growing reintroduction of uses medical or recreational, well regulated and taxed of course, per those states legally allowing. Thusly, one could randomly point to a historical timeline noting the same acts and players, the production and consumption therefore producers and consumers, were all unhindered if allowed, commodity taxed if levied, activity restricted if regulated or person imprisoned if prohibited. To comparatively complicate further, one could randomly point to any one of the many types of productions and consumptions possible within the economy, whether marijuana, computer, bread, hat, book or car, noting the same sort of arbitrary differentials regarding allowance, taxation, regulation and prohibition.

      The comparisons could be easily enumerated, indicating the seemingly endless inconsistencies hence complexities imposed, however the aforementioned are suffice. It should be plain how quickly muddled if not lost the intentions and benefits by politics. If clear minds persist, how quickly exposed are politics’ covetousness and presumption, ultimately resulting to forcefully manipulate or terminate people and confiscate possession. This is true even for well meaning do-gooders in government and society at large, quite prideful of their acquired oft’ subsidized knowledge and preferential oft’ subjective morality thus inciting their unconstrained arrogance and far-reaching presumption. Insatiably, they quickly proceed to covet the political power necessary to lord over others’ exercise of preferences therefore privacy and liberty. By so doing, it is the disregard of others’ Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent on all matters, inseparably, the disrespect of the observably sole expression of others' Peculiar Human Ability to Reason on all matters.

      To be clear, Politicism is Anti-Individualism, interfering, intervening, interrupting or impeding otherwise ethical activity as unanimously and consensually defined and determined by the two or more persons involved. The very same interfering, intervening, interrupting or impeding actions politic if private would be deemed intolerable, unacceptable, undesirable hence resented even resisted. As it is the publicly educated, propagandized mind of either majorly partisan persuasion have deemed the same arrangements if simply politic as tolerable, acceptable even desirable hence preferred even praised. How perverted have people become per the conditioning, no longer questioning the arbitrariness nor presumption, consequently the gross, politically voyeuristic intrusion into private affairs.

Well uppercased the Word; Freedom’s logical singularity
Chiseling into pieces innumerably the Whole observably
Lowercasing to pluralities the freedoms fiat yet counterfeit
The lost ante so to play the rigged hand for illusory gambit

For lovely the gauntlet, liken pirouettes all too well spun
Spirits wrung, minds strung, while Truth remains unsung
Although the ballet enchants via government’s lorgnettes
Enlivening the dancers’ ashen costumes and gray aigrettes

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
