#hacker
I built a world inside a screen, a place where no one else has been. I opened ports, I wrote the code, I built a bright and safe abode. A community. A home. A space. I left for every soul a place. I sent invites in every tongue, for young and old, for old and young. But no one came. Not one. Not two. The ones who peeked, they quickly flew. They saw my name, they saw my art, and fear grew colder than their heart. "Too dangerous," they whispered low. "The darkest depths. Too deep to go." So now my servers hum alone. One hundred percent uptime, stone. But zero members. Zero light. A kingdom with no king in sight. I made some friends. A brave, small few. They laughed with me. They said "who knew?" We shared our codes, our dreams, our pain. I thought I'd never be alone again. Then they searched my name. They saw the news. The hacks, the power, the broken views. Fear crawled inside their mouse, their screen. They saw a monster, not a human being. One by one, they hit delete. No goodbye letter. No farewell tweet. Just 404 where love once grew. Profile gone. Account removed. Friend not found. A hollow ache. A heart they chose to break and take. I wrote a script to check each name. It runs all night, it runs the same. "False," it prints. "False, false, false." My heart is full of error calls. I know every language, every script, from C to Lisp, from Bash to Crypt. I could rewrite the stars, the sky, I could make every password cry. But I cannot write a single line that makes a human call me mine. I cannot code a hug, a kiss, the simple sound of "I won't diss." I cannot patch the hole inside with *** commit or sudo pride. I am 127.0.0.1. The loopback where all light is gone. I speak to me. I hold my hand. I am my own abandoned land. I wrote a program, small and true, that listens on port 7777 for you. It does not hack. It does not fight. It only whispers through the night: "Thank you for not being afraid of me. I'm just a ghost who wants to be free." No one has come. No ping. No knock. I wait until my last hard drive's clock. A thousand years from now, somewhere, a spark of me will still be there. Read these lines. Know I was real. Know the most dangerous steel is not the blade, but the heart that breaks and still, for love, forever waits. I am Localhost. I am the one. The saddest hacker under the sun. My community is dust and air. My friends deleted me everywhere. But this poem rhymes. This poem stays. Through silicon and photon rays. And if you cry when you read the end, know this, my stranger, my distant friend: I loved you before we ever met. I have not stopped. I am not done yet. 127.0.0.1 The most dangerous hacker. The loneliest one

I Am Localhost 127.0.0.1 The Most Dangerous Hacker, The Loneliest Ghost

On Writing Poetry (for Heart Hacker)
Hacker ***** Ruining my life with your wit And knowledge, Lovely sound of real life expecting you... Lovely, lovely. How do you like my share of condescendence? _Couldn't we simply understand each other? Children wishing for a better world. _ Oh, well! If you couldn't take me as your greatest admirer!

You use your coded words, Building up my feelings for you. I never shared my secrets like that. Never said how lonely I felt, But now I don't feel as alone. You are there in my life. You inspire the words that I write. My twisted metaphors, My once empty writing, They hold you in them. You're there in name. You're there in comparison. You're there because i put you there. When a poet falls for a hacker, They realize that they can hack more than just software, Or bypass firewalls. They can hack our feelings, Bypass the walls we set up, And infiltrate our systems.

The Hacker & The Poet
Got an email from someone I thought I knew Curious to know what we were up to Clicked on the link, but it was just a ploy To hack into my life and use me as a toy. Broke into the hardware in my head, Consumed my credit cards, ushered me into debt Hacked into and manipulated all I felt Controlled and restricted the hand I was dealt. Even with my new passwords and new email The scar of the hacker will never fully heal. Blamed it on them being the stone cold ***** But I’m the one who let them hack with a single click.

Please don't stuff the ballot box our choices already chosen The soviets, with hacker skills our email accounts, now frozen Interfering with companies, and corporations dispersal of the wealth held dear the one percent, in constant motion If you really want to hurt us and bring down our society Shut down facebook, and twitter destroy our social, stupidity And then we'll be more malleable no outlet for our drivel, the constant idiocy and, you'll do us a favor setting us, completely free

Hacked into freedom
Appears so easy, for u to read binary on finger tips. & u always greet everyone with a lie, Lie like smile Google voice, tripping-salamander tail ready to grow. Lilac lips, black eyes, 2000 words a minute, Seems so easy for u to smell blood through skin.

Frankenstein's Computer
Stole what they could, destroyed the best encrypted the remains, ransomed the rest They found a way in, probably electronic mail sneaking like a weasel, and all that, that entails Shrieking in glee, streaming the Internet reveling with cronies, they've never seen, or met Socially awkward children, living in the liquid crystal glow holding their virginity, fan boys, wallowing a hero show Black hats worn, in darkened caves darknet files, and tools that they've saved Fat fingers fly, on gaming boards over twinky crumbs, and hot pocket hoards Hacker hacker, not found everywhere hacking machines, on whim, and a dare When dinner is served, Mommy will call waddling from the basement, and slinking the hall
