Our Biggest Threat
Where were you?
When Pearl Harbor was destroyed,
Playing with your tinker toys?
During the assassination of JFK,
Were you just a kid at play?
When the Challenger exploded and crashed,
Did you think our innocence would last?
When the WTC Towers burned and fell,
Who did you run and tell?
Those around didn’t think it would occur.
Or is this just history, just a blur?
Was the world in a state of denial?
Did you shut the door and sit a while?
The cyber wars are the next frontier
Hacker and cyber attacks are what I fear.
The power grids are the next to go
Water systems will not flow.
No gasoline to truck in food
What will we do without oil crude?
Have we become so computer hooked?
Have you given the Conficker worm a look?
One thing you can do to begin,
Be aware of email viruses and their kin.
Make sure your virus checker is up to date.
Recall the Challenger O rings and their fate.
Update and patch your computer’s OS.
I shouldn’t expect anything less.
Did I affect your comfort zone?
Good, then don’t be like the drones.
The world has changed in so many ways.
Hope there will be a safe world for kids to stay.
