We wait for the army to cross the border;
the cyber attack misunderstood.
Redcoats lined up in order
as arrows fly from the wood.
Tanks and missiles deflect attention,
lull the mind with their deception.
The war has already begun
with a new type of gun.
The siege needs no catapult.
Cyber siege is more easily done.
Walls are breached at banks and utilities,
debasing tools of the economy
which keeps nations alive and ready.
We wait with our loss of imagination
as to how the war can be won.
The enemies of democracy
use a different gun.
