Hacked

HACKED In deepest, darkest Web net space, with spirits that they Tor; building rootkits to hide in place, like wolves behind the door. Downloads are baked with cyber psy's, and mere matrix cooking; serving up the Rasberry Pi's, not a soul was looking. Bugged our way with lightening speed, with every User glitched; then coded what they said they need, while every human bitched. Flawed machines reflect our error, imperfect just like us; poor design can levy terror, and throw us under bus. A tantalizing lock to lube, and Chips fall where they may; unlock the cyber Rubix Cube, and hacks are not for play. A new despair is in the air, hacking in dissension; the o's and ones rest in their lair, hatching more dimension. Then where is Waldo in disguise, for Users unaware; and losers all, they will despise, to not protect or care. One foot on earth and cyber space, kinda lost our bearings; know the truth, in either place, and backspace all red herrings. -Edlynn Nau © September 21, 2017 (Four verses with eight lines each; Syllable pattern: alternating 8 and 6 syllables per line.

Hey! I was mad at me for not writing in a "honeypot" into verse but worried no one would know Rasberry Pi or how to implant a rootkit to find your IP. So tried to indicate both PC literate folks and general Users. BRAVE you are Mike.... to read! Not many FB hits. They hate poetry AND computers? Maybe no one has been hacked and can't relate? I dunno... I'm out! Thank you so much for reading the padantic! Lol!
