Highlight of Goofus and Gallant 
bred within the survival instinct 
of hungry hordes of prey, 
when Earth in the balance 
against an uncomfortable truth 
smug smurf like scavengers. 

     Punishment meted out 
and limited by the poison 
yielded courtesy iron maiden 
of hand-to-hand mortal kombat.

     Only when the codification, 
edification, glorification…
of sedentary versus nomadic lifestyle 
did considerations turn 
to protection of self and others. 

     This shift in consciousness 
occurred over great swaths of time. 

     At some juncture in the history, 
an alteration from superstitious, 
querulous, and portentous outlook, 
some anonymous hotmail 
awakened with a momentous, 
judicious, and industrious insight 
to counter act and oppose 
hellacious and supplant said pathos 
with a healthy generous dose 
of fortuitousness reckoned 
by invention formulating calculus, 
audaciousness and picking up 
some helpful tips from bad company.

     Difficult to pinpoint 
the precise instance or prodigy 
who advanced contemplation, 
federation, intuition… 
the process most likely happened 
in fits and starts.
     
     As aggregates of close affiliates 
with out genus and species 
recognized benefits of law and order, 
a coordinated effort 
seemed to blossom forth 
promulgating civility, 
every good boy does fine mentality 
and seeking methodologies 
to offer greater guarantee for longevity.
   
     Creedence clearwater revival 
delivered the gospel according to Matthew, 
which soon indoctrinated 
the merry brigands of pagans 
actuating obloquy against contrary beliefs.

     Long story short of course 
forcibly pronounced decree 
imposing religious strictures 
to be obeyed lest one be sentenced to death. 

     Many a decent creature, 
who found solace from spirits 
that inhabited the natural environment 
got sucker punched 
(or worse tortured till he and/or 
she recanted supposed primitive beliefs), 
and at some instance 
relinquished spiritual heritage 
harkening back generations.
  
     Though freedom of religion 
an inalienable right, a twisted sister logic 
(my opinion) seems 
to destroy innocent lives 
while a terroristic perpetrator 
becomes a martyr.

     If the realm of each cerebral individual 
aggressively usurped 
by indomitable fanatics 
hell bent on proselytizing 
at a very tender age, 
(when the mind most malleable), 
and hashtagging those 
whose willpower greater than any sword, 
the latter labeled heretics 
with the price of their life 
to pay for staunchly held vision quest.

     Here doth stare me a long entrenched 
hypocrisy at the expense 
of no threat to another.  
      
     How (warning cause mumbo jumbo ahead) 
in the name of tarnation 
(with or without feathers 
would be incidental 
to this Unitarian based atheist) 
can there be a more severe implication 
of self sovereignty than the deprivation 
for personal willfulness 
as a natural curiosity 
to cogitate, educate, genuflect…
et cetera on the ramifications 
of humanism if forced 
to recant such individualistic projections? 

     Unbeknownst to this wordsmith 
his meandering reflections would follow 
an arc unpredictable 
at the start of this self-imposed literary exercise. 

     His er rather my intent aspired 
to dwell on near black and white principles 
of so-called right and wrong. 

     Funny (and/or maybe ironic), 
that most if not all organized edicts 
disparage against every single premise 
(particularly taking the life of another 
without just cause), yet pronounce 
severe screeds with a bounty hunter 
put upon the head of he/she 
who professes such antithetical intimations.

     Further objection toward adherents 
to this, that or some other accepted codex, 
when the sanctity of embryonic/fetal entity 
sets mad men going off 
on a rampage of ranting, and raving, 
and even killing in the name of pro life.

     This introspective, live, 
oddly ruminating uber xman wags 
as a sagacious thinker, 
and does assent that a capital offense 
(such as murder – minus self defense) 
ought to be dealt with a blow 
(both figurative and literal) 
against the killer, though outright execution 
disallows the hardened criminal 
to become sensitized 
to such a deadly deed.

     Earlier chapters of mein kampf 
would elicit an immediate declaration 
that what he/she who kills another 
ought to get (I scream) their just desserts. 

     As the decades passed, a realization 
that exact retribution can bring reduction 
regarding the departed heartfelt, 
lost past quirky specialness, 
whether that person 
constitutes an outlier 
whose notions, thoughts, 
whims, et cetera, could upend 
the entire complex edifice 
what tomb me on par 
with an ennobled, established, 
and accepted myth greater than Sisyphus. 

     Whatsapp penning to me 
(a punning logophile 
with acute perception 
can be briefly explained 
by the role of fatherhood. 

     As the papa of two 
dearly beloved daughters 
(both soon on the cusp of taking wing 
and flying the coop 
at the electronic date/time stamp), 
many controversial stances 
underwent augmentation 
within the breastworks of mine bosom. 

     How many emotionally 
laden issues posit one or both 
of said prized progeny 
as a hypothetical/speculative victim 
courtesy growing up 
in a dysfunctional upbringing. 

     Anger against the avenger 
would be mirrored by innumerable questions. 

     I would be keen to share 
how pained this papa felt/feels, 
and beckon to  explain 
what provoked such unforgivable 
vengeful wrath against himself. 

     Damage would haunt 
thine prized precious offspring, 
and this dada cannot imagine 
how a mother and father endure 
the never-ending permanent harm 
dealt their son or daughter 
no matter the perpetrator penalized.
