Watch out for those sneaky pyramid salesmen

when Buddha sold pyramids
 
 
 
 
Gautama Buddha
was the first pyramid salesman;
each mind he touched taught others
in a fractal pattern of enlightenment
now used by Wikipedia
Google and twitter

I liked it. The title set the person in a und set to be against the person in the writing but then it throws you off when you see such a respected figure. Loved it

I was never very good at fractals. Do you flip it when your multiplying or dividing? I didn't know Siddhartha knew math. I did know he was into good seat cushions.    

OK, enough fun. The only problem I have, and it may just me because I'm so slow, but the first thing I thought when I read "pyramid salesman" was some guy who was selling real pyramids for condos. It seems like that should have "scheme" in there so the more stupid of us won't get lost. Although more wordy, which you probably hate, I think it could say something "the first person to run a pyramid scheme", but I guess you can't do that without changing your title and a bunch of other things. Oh well!

Good poem once I got by that pyramid thingy.  

BTW What did Nefertiti say to Julies Cesar when he wanted to have sex? Not tonight I'm on my pyramid.  (from the late Robin Williams)

are you implying that buddhism is gonna collapse unless fed constantly from the bottom?
If not,I like the poem anyway.
