Infiltration

Defenseless and open. Breezy and Free. An atmosphere so perfect, An enemy you can't see.

Peripherally creeping, Undisguised but staining. Corrupted the host, Hacked into the code.

Stealthier than spies, Aggressive than agents. Caused by lethal espionage, A breach in the system.

Uncontrollable havoc now reigns, Internally and unto each vein. Liberty once free, now deprived. If only a mask covered a smile.
