Forty-Five Years On

they’d rather steal from you than buy from your store

their senses cue on stimuli others ignore

chanting dancing
on the warpath still

networks of networks intertwine

assaults subliminal

   touches unfelt

penetrations unnoticed

once great powers now city-states

defend their domains

those that rule

face resistance on real ground

but cyber’s fifth column

is inside the city

cannot be turned back
