Analysis of Our Future Imperiled
The Genie is now out of the bottle,
and referred to as ‘The Net’
Where hackers are countries unto themselves,
empowered worldwide—great threats
Able to intrude and disrupt at will,
weaving a new kind of hell
With privacy raped and freedom attacked,
—barraged, our future imperiled
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)
