He drew a circle that shut me out:
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But love and I had the wit to win:

It turns out this was a rather influential poem for me when growing up. It gave me a way to deal with rejection from others that I think was very healthy and constructive.

Global Resource Bank
Every person owns one share in the GRB. GRB shareholders' value the earth's wealth of natural resources at six quadrillion GRB ecocredits (e). The GRB converts US$ assets to GRBe. The GRB ecocredit reserve account supplies shareholder accounts with e40/day for 20 years. Seven hundred trillion ecocredits are invested in ecosystems and 500 trillion in the GRB network. The GRB income account receives ecocredit from an ecosystem impact charge on shareholder and commercial accounts and exchanges ecocredit with the GRB reserve to maintain equilibrium. Two percent of GRB income sustains the GRB network and e40/day goes to fully funded shareholder accounts. GRB shareholders invest 5% of their GRB income in ecosystems. The shareholders ecocredit wealth of natural resources and GRB income distribution rates adjust to the shareholders' feedback. After one year of inactivity GRB accounts revert to the GRB reserve account. The GRB manager is chosen by the majority.
