PROEM & POEM No. 138 - Pursuit of Happiness / 3rd Reprise
Given the nature of such matters undeniably individual, universally indefinable is happiness thus collectively innumerable are pursuits per preferences, objectives even necessities as concurrently incalculable, immeasurable even inestimable.
For among mortals theologically burdened with sins and depravities, philosophically laden with conditions non-omnipresent, non-omniscient hence non-omnipotent, and/or observably encumbered with propensities for error and excess; who can absolutely define happiness? Consequently, among mortals who can precisely enumerate pursuits upon absolutely defining happiness? And finally, among mortals who can exhaustively calculate, measure even estimate preferences, objectives even necessities after precisely enumerating pursuits upon absolutely defining happiness?
Yet pursuits of happiness obviously springing from individual preferences, objectives even necessities, are determined as rights quite illogically, emotionally, selfishly, arbitrarily, presumptuously, always erroneously, never unanimously, often popularly else oligarchically, thus legislatively followed by unethically forceful means to covetously advantageous ends.

Oh yore's smirk, lore's curt frown, per damn metaphors
Cloaked storms gowned by social norms (a fuckin' hoar)
Hence sounds of silent words, while neon twilight stirs
The felines' purrs and canines' slurs, as whiskey ensures

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
