Welcome To the Machine: Part 9

Malicious Intent > Reclusive con Artists, who appear to take no rest ProwLing through codes Crushing anyone who'd dare contest This is perfection, I suppose The consistently coherent cooperation betWeen mAn and machine An artificial understanding - an accomplice unknown They relY on evasion, but program to attack PerhapS a grand scale heist - performed silently Under the unforgiving blackened hat Uniting against titans As "We Are The law!" Should you ever Cross tHem, your world wIll fall Those devious codes Adware, malware, and raNsomware Will drown your screen in red Imagine them as insects LeachinG, vampiric Dripping blood of a familiar crimson red Under the radar they go Remorselessly busting locks Corrupting, decrypting - accessing your data vault No time to react - it’s all over in a flash You will relinquish control, and surrender to our clicks We do not forgive We do not forget

Aha, I think you're safe in that regard, Caren! Those who don the black hat shy away from confrontation and attack more indirectly - things the victim relies on. Thank you for visiting, I appreciate you!

We, slowly but consistently, are handing our life to technology. The day will come that we have to choose between life and freedom or technology. Whatever the choice wil be our life will become unbearable as your poem describes dear friend, Michael! A great poem!

Well observed, Demetrios - perhaps, indeed, there will come a time where "automation" and "convenience" goes too far - to the point of driving us insane even... kind of ironic if you ask me!

Apologies for my recent lack of activity; I'm looking forward to seeing what everybody's been writing as of late :-)
