Title: Conscientious Exchange


Do we know where our money has been?
Do we know if our money is dirty or clean?


When Lady Mafia courageously complained
to her cunning and ruthless killer husband,
"Your moral standards are despicable!
It's not good for us or for our kids."

The clever Boss returned her sincere hypocrisy,
"Why then, do you take blood money, from me!?"

Angrily, she shook her silicon wits, demanding,
"I want a divorce... and I want what's mine."


If money has a history, do we keep any records?

Might we better inform our conscientious exchange?
This reform is challenging conscientious democracy.

What might a living democratic society look like?
To propose possibility is to begin its realization.


If our Law courts represent actual social policy,
let's form an ongoing social study reporting it.

If our Government represent our actual interests,
let's participate in grassroots polling in daily living.

If the Reserve Bank regulates better monetary policy
let's interact with a transparent accounting system.

Do we believe a Federal currency, to be a holy one?
Let's research, experiment and debate on this issue.

Are loyalty reward schemes and casino tokens money?
Are limited refund, prepaid voucher accounts money?

While international stock markets trade the currencies
do corporate mergers form democratic conglomerates?

Do bonds, options and futures benefit most people?
Do we engage in a free market, democratic and fair?

Are we propping up institutions of misrepresentation?
Might we trade democratic money, might we do better?
