Please Follow Along With The Poem Below.
With doubt in your pocket, you wander in here,
“MLM? Isn’t that something to fear?
A Ponzi? A scheme? Just a fraudulent plan?
A way to deceive your own kith and your clan?”
The media chant what the governments say,
That MLM cheats in a pyramid way.
Yet taxes themselves are a Ponzi in guise,
Disguised with big jargon, confusion, and lies.
They promise returns for the cash that we pay,
“Our roads and our schools will be built in this way.”
But trillions in debt show the sham on the stage,
And wars reignite just to fatten the cage.
Chain letters once flourished in decades gone by,
Send ten to your friends, and your earnings would fly.
Even Ford used the method, his empire to grow,
But governments banned it—they couldn’t allow.
They feared common folk with too much in their hand,
The nouveau riche rising to challenge their stand.
So “fraudulent scam!” was the cry they imposed,
And sheep simply nodded—the ruling was closed.
Then MLM rose, yet was tarred with the same,
A pyramid? Scam? Just another false name.
But truth shows its strength if you bother to look,
It’s the oldest and truest of marketing books.
For Apple, for Google, for Tesla, for banks,
Referral and networks all bolster their ranks.
Even religions spread words in this way,
“Go forth, multiply”—that command still holds sway.
So MLM stands as a tool tried and true,
For me and for others, for all—even you.
From any background, whatever your role,
The network can prosper, enrich, and console.

**The Life-Wisdom of MLM**
There’s wisdom in the networked way,
Though many turn their eyes away.
Too trained to think inside the wall,
They miss the pattern that guides it all.
From crypto coins to Amazon’s stage,
To Substack’s words and LinkedIn’s cage,
From Microsoft’s cloud to viral show,
Each whispers the creed — *Grow, baby, grow!*
The model’s clear, the roots run deep,
It’s MLM’s soul the giants keep.
Each friend recruits, each post extends,
Each follower cycle never ends.
It’s not a scheme, but how we rise,
Through webs of truth that monetise.
Yet blinded minds refuse to see,
They mock the climb, call it folly.
The woke mind virus, cold and loud,
It fogs the thought, it dims the proud.
It cripples drive, it dulls the spark,
And leaves the builders in the dark.
The model’s clear, the roots run deep,
It’s MLM’s soul the giants keep.
Each friend recruits, each post extends,
Each follower cycle never ends.
But when the dreamers wake once more,
And balance thought with deeds of yore,
Then doers do and thinkers think,
And barter fair at reason’s brink.
No clash of creed, no endless fight,
Just trade of value, shared insight.
No kings to rule, no fools to bow,
The world can breathe in rhythm now.
The network hums, the markets spin,
Collaboration woven in.
Each node a voice, each voice a flame,
All part of one eternal game.
The model’s clear, the roots run deep,
It’s MLM’s soul the giants keep.
Each friend recruits, each post extends,
Each follower cycle never ends.
So let the sleepers stir and see,
The code beneath reality.
For MLM’s not just a scheme —
It’s life’s own fractal, living dream.

Well Now! – I reckon a lot of you visiting this post will have come with a pocket-full of doubt. – MLM ?? – Isn’t that PONZI Schemes, Chain-Letters, Defrauding and Bothering Friends & Family? etc; etc;
Well NO! – That’s the line Governments World-Wide have pushed through the MSM/Main-Stream-Media for years now. The same way that they’ve pushed the lie that ‘Conspiracy Theorist’ is a legitimate term to describe people who expose the ‘Truth!’ that governments worldwide don’t want the public to know about.
For instance, all governments use a PONZI Scheme to draw taxes from the public and businesses. They dress it up in jargon designed to NOT be understood by the ‘common-man’, but nevertheless they do use the ponzi-scheme to attract money that they have NO desire to pay back.
A Ponzi scheme is a type of investment fraud that lures investors by promising high returns with little or no risk. The scheme pays earlier investors with the capital contributed by newer investors, rather than from profit earned by the operation of a legitimate business. As more people are drawn into the scheme, the organizer uses their investments to pay returns to the earlier investors, creating the illusion of a profitable enterprise.
Here are some key characteristics of a Ponzi scheme:
- Promise of High Returns with Little Risk: Ponzi schemes often attract investors by promising unusually high returns on investments with little or no risk. These promises are typically unrealistic and unsustainable.
- Consistent Returns: Regardless of market conditions, Ponzi schemes typically promise and deliver consistent returns to investors, further convincing them of the scheme’s legitimacy.
- Lack of Transparency: The investment strategy and the business model of a Ponzi scheme are often vague, complex, or secretive. Investors may not be provided with clear, accurate information about how their money is being invested.
- Difficulty Receiving Payments: As the scheme progresses, it may become increasingly difficult for investors to withdraw their money or receive their returns. Organizers might provide excuses or create delays to prevent investors from cashing out.
- Collapse: Ponzi schemes rely on a constant influx of new investors to pay returns to earlier investors. Eventually, the scheme collapses when it becomes difficult to recruit new investors or when a large number of existing investors attempt to cash out simultaneously.
The term “Ponzi scheme” is named after Charles Ponzi, who orchestrated a fraudulent investment scheme in the early 20th century involving international postal reply coupons. Ponzi promised investors high returns by trading these coupons, but he was actually using the money from new investors to pay off earlier ones, creating the illusion of a successful business.
You may well say; That’s nothing like the taxation system that governments use. We’re not investors, we HAVE to PAY whether We like it or NOT!
YES! we DO! …. But taxes are ‘sold’ to us on the pretext of; “You give US a proportion of your earnings or profits and in return We’ll look after ‘everything’ for You. Roads, Education, Health, Food Supplies, National Security, etc; etc; All You! have to do is earn a wage, start a business, live the life you please, and WE! the Government will do everything for you in return for that small Investment as a percentage of your earnings/profits”.
Sounds like a GREAT Investment to Me! 🙂
Of course! Recently we’re hearing in 2024 that America now ‘owes’ so many Trillions of Dollars and that it will NEVER! be able to pay back the Loans it has taken out to Prop-up the Initial Investment by the Public/Business Taxes, and the NATION could face Bankruptcy. The UK is in a similar position. As is ALL of the other Nations who use the Taxing method to run the country. The chickens are coming home to roost. With WAR being the next resort to regenerate the funds so desperately needed via Arms Deals and Re-Construction work on Devastated Towns, Cities, Communities over areas Destroyed! In the process of War!
Now let’s look at the Chain-Letters shall We? – Us Baby-Boomers remember well the chain-letter phenomenon. We could send out ten letters (or more) to random folk or friends and family, who would then replicate the action after first paying the persons (Usually 4 or 5 – $£1- each who SENT them the invitation) a pre-determined fee for the privilege. The power of Geometric Progression ensured a great return on our small investment if a good proportion joined in. We were regularly pleased with the results. A really good way to earn an extra income when times were hard back in the 50’s – 70’s. and of course! There’s the much publicised version of events where Henry Ford actually used the Chain-Letter phenomenon to raise funds to GROW Ford back in the early days.
SADLY! the governments didn’t much like ‘The Common Man’ becoming fairly rich in a relatively short amount of time and feared the rise of ‘The Nouveau Riche’ who were entering politics and spoiling their money-hoover cartel’s. So they made Chain-Letters Illegal – To ‘protect’ us ALL from the fraudulent Ponzi-Type-Scheme. Of course, the Sheeple sucked-it-up and accepted it.
Because MLM was very similar to the chain-letter method of wealth generation, folk started calling it a ‘Pyramid Scheme’ – A Ponzi-Scheme’ – a ‘Chain-Letter Scam’ .. All promoted through the MSM as though it was FACT!
Thus! MLM or Network Marketing as it’s now known as, still gets a regular bashing from those who can’t see the wood-for-the-trees.
If TRUTH be told – MLM is ‘the’ perfect marketing tool, where anyone, from anywhere, from any walk-of-life, educated or NOT! – It simply doesn’t matter, can make a very good living as MLM/Network Marketing is used in EVERY BUSINESS! …. Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Tesla, Facebook, Uber, ALL! Social Media Platforms, Religions, Banks, – YES! BANKS! – (Referral Incentives) – They ALL followed Jesus – who used it by telling his disciples “Go Forth And Multiply – Spread My Message Far And Wide” – And they DID! Very successfully too! Using the Power of Geometric Progression – MLM!
Now I expect you’re waiting for me to Flog you a Network-Marketing Programme where You’ll Definitely! Make Your Fortune! In return for little-or-NO-work! … Sorry! – No such luck – You need to do Your OWN due diligence if You are interested in securing Your financial future using MLM. (Ask Mr Google) But it WILL be worth it if You work consistently, ethically and morally. Good Luck – And You might like to check out My ‘Merch Shop‘ if you liked this Post – And Please ‘Share’ and ‘comment’ before You GO! 🙂
