Good to see my little Labor Day poem is still making waves all these years later.

@LadyDragonfly Good to see you. Been awhile. Hope that all goes well with you and yours
@LadyDragonfly We were both thinking about poetry today lol
@RickiTarr oh did I miss your poem?

@LadyDragonfly Oh nothing that cool

What's That Prose To Mean Question!

What are a couple of your favorite lines of poetry?

What is their significance to you?

I'm a big fan of Rilke, especially The Book of Hours, I could have chosen a thousand different lines, and it was a tough choice between him and Pablo Neruda, but here we are:

You see, I want a lot.
Perhaps I want everything
the darkness that comes with every infinite fall
and the shivering blaze of every step up.
So many live on and want nothing
And are raised to the rank of prince
By the slippery ease of their light judgments
But what you love to see are faces
that do work and feel thirst.
You love most of all those who need you
as they need a crowbar or a hoe.
You have not grown old, and it is not too late
To dive into your increasing depths
where life calmly gives out its own secret.

That's what we call a fine pyramid scheme scam.

@ArchivistSHD I don't follow

@LadyDragonfly
In my opinion all MLMs are a form of a pyramid scheme, human worshipping other humans and working for them out of desperate measures.

Don't believe me ?
Tell a person that works in a governmental agency to heavily criticize his agency constantly, without getting fired.

Also there's been lots of PLAIN, on-sites, pyramid schemes, namely in California,

And its business haven't been shut down, or its business owners haven't been apprehended FOR YEARS.

@ArchivistSHD that is not what a pyramid scheme is.

@LadyDragonfly
You can still subsides pyramid schemes, and get away with it, without being noticed.

Also what do you mean "that is not a pyramid scheme". If someone's father is working and is only getting a few cents while his business owner, CEO, gets a net worth of thousands or millions, that IS a pyramid scheme.

@ArchivistSHD it seems as if you are suffering from some kind of mental illness, friend. You are taking non linear leaps of logic which simply don't align with rational thinking. I wish you well, but I can't have a rational conversation with an irrational person.

@LadyDragonfly look up Dan Lok, who's situated in California, one of the big Pyramid scheme scammers of recent times.

Not sure if he got apprehended or his business shut down yet. But he's been active for YEARS, even when people were questioning out how he's conducting his business unethically.

Also look up World Economic Forum, one of the bigger, if not the biggest, major scammers and artisans in MLM and Pyramid Schemes, in the WORLD.
