Meltdown (Poetry)

We know the old computer bug —
the way it worms inside
through any opening or gap
each crack proves way too wide

to keep the infiltrator out
it finds the first way in
its purpose is to sabotage
and ruin everything

It’s nothing that the naked eye
can train itself to spot
invisible it slips on by
and trashes all we’ve got

So now the information’s lost —
the clever code words hacked
the virtual city’s bare as bone
its flimsy fabric sacked

The headless chickens run about
Farmville’s in disarray
‘The virus rules!’ the dying shout —
‘Welcome to Judgement Day!’
