Moral Coins

If there were 
only MORAL coins 
and no MINT coins
people's would have 
conducted sans sins

Sin smeared 
Moral coins 
would be akin to 
Self Demonetised 
Unfit coins for trade
good for scrap grade 

Pristine Moral coins 
would be like medals 
glorifying character
Premium coins 
best for any trade 

It's time to have
NOBEL PRIZE
for High Morale 
rewarding uprightness in 
socio-political category 

It's time, schools have
Honesty, Integrity
as mandatory subject 
laying gen-next's cornerstone 
of character super structure 

Immorality, Corruption is blooming
having 12.months spring season  
Corroding roots of Values 
How long tree will hold terrain? 
With no oxygen, no fruits 
how long Society will sustain? 

Nursing Roots, 
Nursing Morality
ought to be top priority 
Else corruption white ants 
feeding on cellulose of greed 
will disorient stability, safety
and hollow out society timber 

MORAL coins or 
MINT coins? 
Value based society or
Anarchy based society?
Time to mint Chances 
Time to make Choices
