the next war

dissecting CyberCom from NSA
Obama seeks a structure that makes sense
a tidy ship, with all gear stowed away
to garner trustworthy intelligence
combatants--to be lawful--are constrained
to battlefields, if not face-to-face
our killer spies, like Russia's go unreined
and someone's got to put them in their place
non-prosecution's a bad precedent
but no one's called our torturers to heel
I'm pretty sure that's not what our courts meant
but Trump thinks law's a crock; he'll cut a deal
O brave new world! our arms are obsolete
the software revolution's now complete
