Light Side
an interpretation of the apology by the DarkSide ransomware hackers
Our motives are mercenary, and apolitical.
Putin puts in a good word; we’re good guys!
We’re taken aback that we hacked such a critical
line of supplies; it’s a nasty surprise.
Now branded as anarchists, worse, analytical
terrorists plotting a nation’s demise,
$5 mil will console us. We’d be hypocritical
If we refused our pecuniary prize.

This is an excellent sarcastic response to the situation, with clever and fun rhymes!
This is a gem of compressed expression about our grievances against our Cyber-masters. Be careful! — Silicon Valley knows all about you.
Their thinking’s not circular, somewhat elliptical,
they’re nice chaps, they’re bad chaps, that’s truth and that’s lies;
hackers philosophical, they’re somewhat atypical,
they’re doing us a favour as our cash say their bye, byes.
Thanks for a light-hearted look with some amazing rhymes, Bethany. We’re obviously in the wrong business.
Though it’s not worth a dime,
I’ll stick to writing rhyme
Instead of cyber crime.
Thanks, Paul, for your time!
