The rulers in charge of pleasures sweet which never dry
Promise to provide an endless food supply
For citizens desiring wealth without the sweat.
As droids are gathering crops around a field,
Databases print records of healthy summer yield
Across the many zones secured within a safety net.
A system where the people have the choice to roam
Zones without restriction like another home
Cannot prepare for virus ready to attack.
As city’s key defenses sleep throughout the night,
Ignorance rapidly rises to a greater height
As fiends observe protective data they desire to crack.
