PROEM & POEM No. 110 - Solomon's Ecclesiastical Slip / Part 2
Solomon was first a prince, of course finely educated and precisely trained. Later as king he royally spoke and convoked while scribes loyally wrote and criers evoked, thus captains devotedly mustered and notably marshaled, as magistrates prudently adjudicated and dutifully administrated. Many of these executive orders carried out by palace agents assumingly and routinely ensured and collected the king’s taxes, fines, license fees, tolls, levies, confiscations per seizures, conquests therefore plunders (see No. 110).
It is safe to say since antiquities, laws were phrased, structured therefore worded with much precision as foresight enabled to preclude misinterpretations, loopholes even abuses, to successfully achieve the original intentions. Consequently, it is also safe to say, the king renowned for his wisdom among contemporaries, theologians and historians thereafter, would not have been any less precise in his own lawmaking, taking much care of thought and word in public court. In his private chamber, it would be understandable to divert from such methodical care for poetic writings, however expectedly perpetuated in his proverbial and ecclesiastical writings.
Therefore Solomon paradoxical, for Solomon monarchial demanded his subjects’ possessions to be required in part, while Solomon philosophical admonished his subjects’ possessions to be enjoyed in full. To rightly broaden, humanity paradoxical per every mortal quite frail and swayed in body and spirit while quite aware and stayed in mind and soul. Obviously paralleling the human ability to reason and the human propensity (or depravity) towards err and excess, singularly embodied coexisting and conflicting, as well subjecting or succumbing to one or the other.
It is this poet’s ardent position Solomon was no different than any other mortal regardless of his particularly above-average gift(s), that is to say, gifted naturally (perhaps divinely) as well educated royally while blinded by his privileges as one non-omnipresent, non-omniscient and non-omnipotent. Therefore the king was quite capable of observing consistency, logic/ethic and truth amid personal struggles per inconsistency, illogic/lack of ethic and deception. Theologically, is this not the Adamic lot of Man, while evolutionarily the same human state as easily, empirically observed?

The ninety-nine bewitched by the psycho-analytic dots
Like pretty maids unison o’er one ditty, swayed as taught
Some afraid, others distraught, though outwardly merry
As ole gentlemen till on heads drone’d, or instead ferried
To unfamiliar islands yonder, to fondle consular highlands
Of mind, consoling the soul by nonsense rhymes as creeds
Ceding then mitigating salience, facilitating the obedience
Seeding and deeding the homogeneous to act symphonious

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