(Translation: The Silent Cyber-War Is No Laughing Matter!)

china hackers

Shanghai cyber-tower looming

Like an ancient fortress,

With its high tech lenses zooming –

An all-seeing goddess.

We two mount cyber maneuvers,

Which may come off quite odd –

Ten-foot-tall shakers and movers

Getting down in the sod.

As the Peoples' Army boo-hoos,

Saying they're under siege,

We all know they're not the true-blues

They would have us believe.

As we know, their bots have wandered

Through our systems with ease.

Precious time we may have squandered,

Gaming – a vile disease!

We, of course, have not been idle –

To this attests Iran.

We've been in, performed a sidle-

Stop-gap nuclear ban.

No doubt, Vladimir's been cracked, too;

Best be in the cash box.

Give him something extra to do;

He's bored counting just socks.

ISIS is a diff'rent creature;

It avoids description.

No doubt, they seek ev'ry feature,

Ev'ry new encryption.

Thus it is with the world today,

At this cyber-birth-time.

Nothing like wars of yesterday,

It's all a brand-new crime.

Stay alert, Silicon Valley

U.S.A, use them well!

If we cyber-shilly-shally,

We risk digital hell!
