ABOVE MONEY

In stark contrast to an alpha-stemming society,

An omega-oriented society will be above money,

Which, in regard to notes and coins, it will despise

As a kind of autocratic/bureaucratic redundancy.

Instead, it will be partial to cheques and

Credit cards, or plastic vouchers -

The former phenomenal, the latter noumenal,

Chequebooks indicative of democratic materialism,

Credit cards indicative of theocratic idealism.
