Biology populates our firmware
Society hacks the code
BASIC instructions get replaced
Triggering a self-destruct mode
Your interface is open
Gateway protocol, unsecured
With hardware hopelessly outdated
Unauthorized access goes undeterred
Exposed internal circuits
Wide open to unwanted intrusion
Failsafes have been deactivated
Security surrenders to illusion
Your software has been compromised
Naked wires sensitive to the air
Rogue code deployed within
Nerves laid so brutally bare
Systems struggle to defend
Foreign signals infiltrate
With your source code unlocked
A kill switch quietly activates
A mounting dissonance erupts
Wires in the wind viciously vibrate
The echo up your spine intensifies
Neurons misfire and detonate
Frantic and futile, you struggle to cope
Rewriting code under duress
Facing a backlog stacked with misery
An escape key gets carelessly pressed
In one insane instant it all collapsed
A switch so imperceptibly flipped
The once unthinkable executed on a whim
Into oblivion you so suddenly slipped
Left behind in the aftermath
The maudlin masses still mourn
But tears like the salt air corrode
The naked wires we all adorn.
