Money's evil.
Why?
Money makes you greedier and insecure.
Why?
Because the more you have, the more you want.
Why?
Because money is power.
What's wrong with the power?
Power corrupts.
Not the person with the power.
Oh, yes, power and money will get you.
You mean they'll corrupt me?
Yes.
Can you prove that?
Money can get you a license to kill.
Why?
Money is amoral.
What do you mean?
Money kills people and gets away with it.
Why? Explain.
Because crime pays.
Why?
Because more crime means more jobs for cops and lawyers.
What's wrong?
It improves GDP figures, doesn't it?
I'll tell you what’s wrong. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer.
But the rich give money to the poor, don't they?
If the system works, yes.
What do you mean?
The rich invest without helping the poor.
What bothers them?
The rich don’t like the poor. So they don’t give.
Why?
Because they know the poor don’t like them.
So what? What are you getting at?
To prove money is devilishly strong.

Logics instead of logic:POETIC DEBATE ON MONEY (1/6)
POETIC DEBATE ON MONEY
We have six logics:
rock, fire, wind, water, heaven and earth.
They tell us how to think and act.
Rock 石
Money is good.
Why?
Because it can measure value.
How?
In terms of what can buy.
Food, clothes and shelter.
But you can't buy love, trust and friend.
Oh, yes, you can. You can buy sex.
But not love.
Yes. You could. Nothing you can't buy, is there?
Why?
Money is a means of exchange.
Emotions too?
Measure for measure, yes.
Security, too?
Why not? A store of value.
Be specific.
Why do you buy insurance? As a hedge, right?
Right.
It costs you money, right?
Right.
See? Money's everything in this day and age.
I doubt it.
But that's the way it is.
Well, that's not the way it should be.

Logics Instead of Logic
Logic
comes in six energy forms. These forms are the manifestations of engines of
logical thinking.
Assuming
there is a Logic, there should be alternative logics: water, wind, fire, heaven
and earth in addition to the traditional “rock logic,” which has been around
since ancient Greek civilization.
Mind you, a civilization.
With
the advent of emerging civilizations, logic seems to have evolved into various
forms of logic, or logics for short instead of logic.
Why?
Because each and every country has a kind of dominant language and logic.
Give
those logics the extension, flexibility and diversity of our ideas and we may
expect to find them ‘fleshed-out’ in the following poem and poetic debate,
hitherto deemed unthinkable under the rigid rule of a Logic.

Logics Instead of Logic: A Poem About Six Logics (6/6)
|
We think earth. Down
and Dark.
We think twice. We
kill nobody.
We waste nothing. We
just recycle.
And we bear and rear.
And listen.
We can recycle wasted
logics back to life.
Why?
Because earth logic
spirals all energies
- back to earth.
We play the mother-avoiding
risk and
nurse.
But earth can’t rationalize as rock can.

Logics Instead of Logic: A Poem About Six Logics (5/6)
|
We think heaven. Up
and Bright.
We think with
harmony.
We sing like angels
and think like music.
We can harmonize
sounds of
rock, water, fire and
wind.
And judge them.
And listen.
We can put them all
together
for a change.
Why?
Because heaven logic spirals
all energies
-upward.
We play the
father-taking risk
and go forward.
But heaven can’t recycle
as earth can.

Logics Instead of Logic: A Poem About Six Logics (4/6)
|
We think wind. Cool and Swift.
We think with situations.
We think now.
We think here. We think
tomorrow.
And we think smart.
And listen.
We can let go of
what our emotions can’t.
Why? Because wind
logic blows away
the past that binds.
We smile and laugh
away our blinds.
But wind can’t put’em
together as heaven can.

Logics Instead of Logic: A Poem About Six Logics (3/6)
|
We think fire, Red
and Hot.
We think with
emotions.
We love. We envy.
We hate. We fear. And
we anger.
And listen.
We can intuit what
water can’t.
Why?
Because fire logic
burns love or hate
and yield to
temptation.
We love and hate with
equal passions.
But fire can’t
forget as wind can.
