Most likely to be published later this winter of 2020/2021, my 11th book entitled appropriately; More 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. 191 - A Reprobate Mind / 1st Reprise
When they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man…
Romans 1:21-23
Modern universities have become institutions of fools and brutes, no longer respecting empirical evidence, methodical observance and heedful science upon ceaseless study, endless ponder and relentless labor, no longer regarding logic thus consistency per the universally evidential inherency of fact, ethic and truth, instead embracing arbitrariness thus inconsistency per the popularly vulgar conveniency of fantasy, sentiment and euphoria. Not as the specie consciously reasonable in the Maker’s image, after the Creator’s likeness, rather as species unconsciously instinctive liken beasts in fields, humanity descends to inhumanity, existing solely for the feast, fuck and fight, hence insisting covetously, persisting wantonly and subsisting presumptuously, arrogantly, violently.
It is true, the aforementioned foolishness and brutishness renders not the person permanently less individual, less capable to reason therefore as a matter of fact unconsciously instinctive. However, rendered is the person temporarily less individual, as so long he/she elects hence remains less willing to reason therefore as a matter of comparison unconsciously instinctive. The human ability to reason is constant, manifested not by wise versus unwise choices, but by choices alone.
Consequently, evicted and thrown from within the Soul’s four walls the preferentially productive placidity thus humanly reasonable totality per God’s impartations of His image and likeness, then rented and torn by the barbarously hell-bent brutality thus inhumanely instinctive totality per Man’s propensities toward error and excess. Nevertheless, God’s common grace timelessly withstands! For if so reasoned, the mind while quite aware of the totality thus brutality per Man's seemingly persisting wars upon apparently insisting violence outside the four walls of the Soul, inside the totality thus placidity per God's naturally unavoidable law then effectually sustainable peace.

O the four walls of Self so tall, internally versus externally
Various the influences, ergo inwardly versus outwardly
Precarious the continuances whilst some confluences nefarious
Yet long temerarious Individualism often rightly contrarious

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