There are days
I see angels among us still
come to warn or comfort
come to bend us to a blessed will
.
Is it chance two Aarons
are among them?
What links them more
is software.
.
Yes, among engineers
you’ll find the modern paraclete –
the Snowden, the Assange
the Swartz, the Bushnell
each in his own way
loud as a tolling bell.
Ignore them at your peril.
