Hacker Poem

We are golden, electronic,
glorious cathode character displays
plunging through data highways,
token rings & the hallowed stations
of Pac Bell or Nynex.
We are mighty on the matrix,
decrypt into VMS or UNIX.
We know the data trees
of your jukebox and RAID SCSIs.
We have Fortran, C, & LISP;
we want source & Root Access.
Our hunt is ceaseless, boundless
Through infinite Lans & wans,
ethernet dense as glass platters;
You don't understand,
it's the search that matters.
