The Honest Scam by Moblord(m): 6:55am On Nov 09, 2016
I'm a Poet, this poem kept people talking about MMM on facebook. How do you see it.

The Honest Scam

When they tell you MMM is evil
Tell them to help you
Ask for just a token
Hear the story that touches

I have never seen a scam so true
But this MMM
That put smile on faces
That empowers the willing
In a daring recession

This is twenty-first century
The age of information
MMM says circulate the money
And people won't go hungry
The poor shall smile
The rich shall smile
Just help a friend
Get helped yourself
All in truth and honesty
That everyone may smile
Is that a scam
Then call It a honest scam

Why hoarding this money away
Why worshipping money
While people die of hunger
If you can't just help a brother
What then is your religion
When you preach of holiness
If money are locked in banks
While we bury the starved
What sermon do we preach
