Proem & Poem No. 1 – What Is Murder, Rape, Slavery and Theft
by D.C. Quillan Stone

What is murder if not termination of human life without Consent? What is rape or sexual violation, if not physically intimate activity without Consent? What is slavery if not employment, labor or duty without Consent? What is theft or extortion, if not barter, purchase, loan, gift or charity without Consent? What is assault if not a spar or match without Consent? What is abduction if not association, guardian or companionship without Consent?

What is an intruder if not a relative, friend or guest crossing the door’s threshold without Consent? What is an invader if not an ally crossing the border without Consent?

Empirically hence inevitably considering, the passionate inquiry of the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason, inseparably the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent, must be prerequisite to all matters intimate, private, philosophical, spiritual, theological, public, social, political, consequently, ethical.

Question neo-truths and hoary lies, either oft connived
Attired withal bane, polity then gains per the contrived
Slurred verses for blurred curses o’er private purses
O covetousness fitly stirs as the public booty disperses

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
