More on Human ABILITY to REASON, Human RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 114

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. 114 - What Is Politics / 2nd Reprise


      All political Isms imagine on behalf of multitudes some preferred, desired ever promulgated collective good or national grandeur, always interacting, cooperating and exchanging with enough of those who consented so to subjugate, regulate, appropriate even incarcerate, interrogate, terminate others who dissented, necessitating covert collusion within the polity while executing overt coercion upon the citizenry, consequently the expedient use of governmental hence unethical force for implementation.

      Individualism, the sole nonpolitical ism, imagines not on behalf of multitudes, rather empirically observe then reason to conclude towards some preferred, desired personal good or familial purpose, often interacting, cooperating and exchanging with those who consented while respecting others who dissented, negating in private concourse even rejecting in social discourse the use of governmental thus unethical force for implementation.

      To logically, mildly recast, Individualism imagines not, rather praxeologically studies, ponders so to closely understand "what was" and "what is" then rightly estimates, projects so to speculate "what will be" per human actions since the specie's created or evolved dawn of consciousness, that is to say, since human beings first reasoned so to express by consenting to this over that, or dissenting to that over this. While yearning and learning in this manner, constantly aware ergo consistently bears self-responsibility, ever cognizant of known and unknown risks, Individualism logically, ethically strives.

      To illogically, wildly contrast, all political Isms imagine, preferring not to praxeologically study, ponder therefore understanding not "what was" and "what is", still oddly hell-bent to estimate, project so to speculate "what will be" per utopian fantasies often not conjured from the specie's created or evolved dawn of consciousness until some point of alleged enlightenment, dismissing of course humanity’s innate distinction to individually reason so to express by consenting to this over that, or dissenting to that over this. While assuming and presuming in this manner, covetously unaware ergo ignorantly bares irresponsibility, rarely cognizant of known and unknown risks, all political Isms illogically, unethically contrive.

Schmoozing to ruse, pretending to muse then to confuse
Intending to further bemuse yet enthuse hence to misuse
Suffusing, diffusing, continuing the odd conundrums
Heightened as morality, inked holy as timely memorandum

Jejune tantrums kinked, festooned humdrum well synced
Illogic `tween the links, fitly demagogic the pop-hoodwinked
O the proverbial Screwtapes to the drone-like Wormwoods
Such brotherhood else individual if empirically understood

(To gaze upon the dogwood or rose, dewed by new morn
Firstly to behold `yond cavern’s threshold; conscience born
Curtains torn, garments rented among paradigms shifted
Emotions persisted, confidences rifted, shrouds thus lifted)

---

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