The Internet
Cru-cyber

Come all ye faithful,
Login to be
Global conquesting technology.

Buy, sell, bank, chat ...
All alone interact.

Cru-cybers countless,
Persons unknown,
Chain-mail links in an armor that's grown
Against itself,
The infidel hacker,
Epithetically known as security's backer.
 
Black plague viruses infect the third "i;"
The computer's terminal with nothing to die.

Information consigned,
Booty is data;
It's all in the mind:
Algorithmic schemata.

A virtual world,
A virtual war,
With more and more weapons to download and store;
Yet soldiers of the web,
We, separate in unity,
 Surf New Jerusalem
With virtual impunity.

Mary Jo Magar
