Ginseng and ginkgo

Didn't read this nor rate it, excepting the intro about the gingko biloba tree. Here are some other facts (since that intro aroused my curiosity):
(Quora) ...the asteroid that hit the Earth and terminated the dinosaurs released over 100 million megatons, which is about 100 billion times more powerful than the two nuclear bombs released upon Japan at the end of World War 2! Turns out that impact released energy 10 thousand times the world's nuclear arsenal. (NASA) It keeps memory sharper by increasing blood flow, also contributing to vein and eye health (Mount Sinai). Likely the biggest interesting tidbit is that it is known as a 'living fossil', the Ginkgo biloba is one of the world's oldest living tree species: it was around 350 million years ago (Eden Project). In many tales of Asian mythology, ginkgo biloba leaves represent pure love and eternal commitment. Like the intertwining halves of the Yin-Yang symbol, the two symmetrical, fan-shaped lobes of the ginkgo leaf merge at the petiole as a sign of harmony amidst opposing forces. (Issuu) In China and Japan the ginkgo has deep cultural significance. There it represents longevity and endurance (Tyler Arboretum). Finally, Tradition has it that if you catch a ginkgo leaf as it floats to earth, you'll have good luck, (UNH)

How neat is that? Your readers can determine which of these apply to this story.

First off, I’m not much of a poetry reader but the title grabbed me. (I never understand half of what ‘poets’ attempt to convey.) A ginseng economy relates to international trade and low-wage countries: China, India and Mexico are examples. An economist by profession, this has a Che Guevara theme. He concluded that socioeconomic inequalities could only be remedied by revolution. If I accurately understand this poem, then I have to say you scored well.

my thoughts, after reading the ‘worrisome’ poem, immediately went to “Wake Up and Smell the Ginseng” kind of like James Carville’s “It’s the economy, stupid,” so for me it worked. It also reminded me of Clinton’s campaign signage which was haiku-like: (a) Change vs. more of the same, (b) The economy, stupid and (c) Don’t forget, health care. ‘Tis people’s futures...’ linked me back to ‘futurologists’ and that I liked. Otherwise, I wholeheartedly agree with MyNecroticSnail. You’ve done it again, Man Ray. Well done. PS You also made me think, “What will happen to me!”
