ABILITY to REASON, RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 15

Most likely to be published sometime in 2018, my 10th book currently entitled; 100 Proems & Poems on the ABILITY to REASON, RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters. The following will probably be included upon further editing...

PROEM & POEM No. 15 - Language Confounded

      Whether to broadly punish mortals for arrogantly “reach(ing) unto heaven”, or to thwart king and government’s presumptuous conscription as well confiscation upon others of the same cloth, that is, the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason, the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent, for either or both reasons, God confounded the common language according to Genesis’11th chapter, 7th verse. With that biblically said, Nimrod and his royal counselors already confounded the common language by cunningly half truths and brazenly whole lies, as empirically, consistently confirmed by every government since that time for similar grandiose, outlandish plans, self-serving even deviant schemes as well the most seemingly just or moral programs.

      Perhaps a story allegorically or actually so, either matters not, for is it not interesting the comparison. Consequently, general arrogance educes divinity’s punishment by the confounding of the common language, versus government arrogance seduces citizenry’s sentiment by the confounding of the common language per clever propaganda including shrewd redefinition of terms and words. Perhaps a story timelessly applicable.

She whispers trivialities, titillating so his propensities

He gestures pluralities, groping low her vulnerabilities

She presumes in perpetuum, he sighs a nom de plume

Engaged, enraged as souls exhume to again entomb

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
