Are all Numbers Dead

Are all numbers dead? He was one in a million. So were his followers. So was his smile. Are all numbers dead? The war killed a million Millions displaced. And millions in fund. Are all numbers dead? She earned a million, singing to millions and signed million-dollar contract. Are all numbers dead? They dream in millions, play millionaire games, live like fake millionaires. Are all numbers dead? A million miles away a million stars to fulfill million wishes. Are all numbers dead? A million tasks a million hopes stacked in a million to one chance Are all numbers dead? yes, in the numerical graveyard. One died of invisibility Ten died of thrifting Hundred died of haggling Thousand died of tallying. Numbers died naturally but million survived as illusion. Now, million is a minion, servant of spectacle, puppet of praise, mascot of myth. It lays eggs in contracts. hatches headlines. But one day it will limp its way to necropolis of numbers, in the shadow of zero.
