Exponential Growth Poem by George Krokos

I'm interested in the prospect of exponential growth
and often wonder how some people are able to cope
when they find themselves in favor with all the hope
of realized dreams in life due to their efforts or oath.

Or where there has been a sudden increase of wealth
such as those we hear of who rise from rags to riches
for there are many true stories told of people's niches
and the way they have acquired a fortune by stealth.
