Hacking Poem
–
Digital salmon swimming alone upstream
Sacrificing sleep for bits of some dream
Patiently stalking impatient trolls
Denying web crawlers omnipotent stroll
Sacrificing sleep for bits of some dream
Patiently stalking impatient trolls
Denying web crawlers omnipotent stroll
–
Digitally Dividing and conquering
Masquerading charlatans of new age ball
Sheep like server waits for hacking hammer to fall
Amazing nights but boring days
Lord forgive us our digital merry ways
Going back to the day job in the morn
Keeping up appearances to earn bread and daily corn
Masking emotions daily outrage
Waging lonesome wars of rage
–
we are small but proud
forced sometimes kneel and crawl
hacker cracker phisher phracker
wont you be my friend after it all

Poets who have a technological bent are not that unusual, I think. I’m glad to meet one who roams through cyberspace and ends up spilling words into the ether.
I never figured that anyone can write poetry about harsh technology…very innovative. Love it and will return, Eric P/s Thank you for subscribing to my blog
Eric, technology and poetry are closer than you think. Thanks for the kind remarks. Ajay
Hi, like the person above ^^^ I also was informed that you subscribed to my blog. Thanks very much, I’m glad to know that people are enjoying my writing, even though it’s only something I do in my spare time, and it’s fairly amateur
I like this poem a lot, it’s very clever, and I love the rhyme.
Howdy! I’m informed that you visited my blog, and liked what you read enough to subscribe. Thanks! I really like hearing from new readers, and I’m happy you liked it. I came here to check out your site, and must say, I like it a lot. Very spare and attractive format; it focuses attention on the material instead of the look of the site. I like this poem, too; it’s much better than most of mine, but I’m well aware of my limitations in that area. Any who, thanks again. I’ll be following your blog too, so I can hear when you post new work…take care out there….
