Their attack on the oil pipeline
Did not require metal tools, only a coded hack
Devised by a human brain. The damage reveals
Arrogance embedded in big business. Its seams
Split, exposing basic weakness that lies in
The hope that ignorance will protect the nation’s
Infrastructure. But who will create the code for cybersecurity
When future coders prefer games to true armor?

I’m continuing to use Terrance Hayes’s Golden Shovel poem format, as proposed by the Sunday New York Times "At Home" section, for 30 Poems in 30 Days during National Poetry Month.
Take a newspaper headline that attracts you.
Use each word in the line as the end word for each line in your poem.
Keep the end words in order.
Describe the story that the headline is for.
The poem does not have to be about the same subject as the headline that creates the end words.
