Into the Hard Drive Breach

The total accumulation
of all knowledge
transcribed by hand
over centuries
of human evolution
and innovation

now contained

on a micro chip

the size
of a grain of sand

Rapid access memory

Acronym RAM

Now
conveniently crammed
to satisfy

our click curiosity

in a millisecond 

War now gone cyber

bypassing fire walls 

World data base now gone 
All networks smashed

Civilization obliterated

Not by megaton bombs

but by a viral warriors

who broke the code 

Now we must
start over

With quill

and parchment paper
