Gamble With Your Life

Would you wager on Silicon Valley?

By Skyler SaundersPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Internet giants get that way

by bits and bytes.

The computer age has something to say

About the way that it fights.

The top billionaires became

So wealthy based on thinking.

Copious thought grew into a flame

That set a mind ablaze unblinking.

Their tools remained brain cells.

Every piece of their being

Took on a way that tells

The will to continue seeing.

They never lost sight of the reason.

To make as much money as they could

Became integrated with each season.

By being selfish they did the most good.

They knew what they could gross

As generating more value to net

Gains helped them to get close

To that initial bet.
