Most likely to be published later this summer of 2022, my 12th book entitled appropriately; Propositions, Problems & 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 10th and 11th books...
Vox populi vox Dei: the voice of the people is the voice of God. The slogan was useful for those who first attempted to substitute the people for God as the source of political authority. Their attempt was ultimately so successful that God no longer seems to be needed in government.
Edmund Sears Morgan (1916-2013)
Furthermore,
neither vox rex vox Dei nor vox imperium vox Dei, rather intus unumquemque vox Dei, that is to
say, God speaks directly, uniquely to each and every individual (as this poet
contends) whether by meditation, prayer, writ, sermon ergo sola scriptura theologically, as well studying, pondering, laboring
(till last breath, if you will). For no person is divinely or intellectually
worthy to presume then exact authority thus force upon another without the
latter's universally rightful consent. In this way, the populist or democratist
is as erroneous even inhumane as the theocratist, monarchist, royalist,
elitist, oligarchist for all these species per the genus Kratocratist hence the
resultantly monstrous war-cry "Might
makes Right!"
---
To live by another’s leave, forced to cleave, later to
bereave
Assailing agitprop as prevailing backdrop so cleverly
weaved
To breathe the toxicity `tween the complicity and
duplicity
Inflating the whimsy as fancied infinity till end of
the elasticity
Crucifixes tarnished, thrown to white walls and bloody
floors
For unstudied the lore of yore, therefore quite
ignored the gore
Exiguous the rightful dissented, still abhorred by the
plenteous
Pneumatically thrilled the latter by demagogues
vainglorious
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
