More on Human ABILITY to REASON, Human RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 192

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. 192 - A Reprobate Mind / 2nd Reprise

      And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

      Romans 1: 28-32

      These Biblical verses possess a threaded theme difficult to ignore, summarized largely in two words; Fraud and Force. Consistently preceding Fraud legal or illegal therefore dishonesty comprehensively, the person disrespects others’ Peculiar Human Ability to Reason. Constantly preexisting Force legal or illegal therefore violence comprehensively, the person disregards others’ Singular Human Right to Consent or Dissent on all matters. In this way, any one or more of the enumerated ills often result per Apostle Paul’s writings previously quoted and interestingly, always the 10th Commandment inwardly broken thus unseen (see Nos. 147-155), then outwardly broken thus seen the 5th through 9th Commandments in forms of Fraud and/or Force against another. 

      So much for the harmless little white lie as those would justify conveniently, covetously although quite clumsily, anticipating their subsequent little white fraud and/or force inimically, injuriously although quite intentionally.

      To reiterate clearly, Fraud and Force are both motivated by Covetousness thereby both coveting some mode and measure of covert manipulation and/or overt imposition upon others. The one(s) dishonest and/or violent of course worry not of others’ explicit dissent or implicit dissent by unexpressed consent. It is plain the reason for the use of the chicanery and coercion, to circumvent the perceptively bothersome yet ethically nonviolent negotiation towards consent mutual or unanimous. And so goes the common digression; the initial Covetousness, the subsequent Presumption then the Arrogance when electing Fraud and Force, therein reeling the state till sealing the fate of the mind reprobate.

Fraud while plotted, then ramrod’ed until masses applauded

Morally slipshod, scholarly awed though core quite rotted

Spotted well per logic behind the prisms thus isms anagogic

Yet aphorisms foster as schisms fester; ostracism demagogic

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