Our Future Imperiled

The Genie is now out of the bottle,
and referred to as ‘The Net’

Where hackers are countries unto themselves,
empowered worldwide—great threats

Able to intrude and disrupt at will,
weaving a new kind of hell

With privacy raped and freedom attacked
—barraged, our future imperiled
