A million here
A million there
It used to be such
That a million was regarded
As a huge sum of money
And it still would be
Were it not for everyday
Mention in the media of
A billion here and
A billion there
To a point where a million
Seems like a chump change
Tens of billions
Hundreds of billions
And now even a trillion
A trillion
Which is beyond the ordinary
Human mind's comprehension
Like the endless universe
Countless stars
A thousand billion
Each billion comprised of
A thousand million
Each million comprised of
A thousand thousand
Each thousand comprised of
A thousand dollars
Where it all begins
A thousand times
A thousand times
A thousand times
A thousand
