Outage

As Microsoft and Crowd-strike fail with a global outage, time to take stock.

Outage

The world stopped, at least the West
Technology failed after one upgrade
In hubris, we thought we were best
As the screens slowly begin to fade

Cards not cash, but if cards now fail
That which we thought so secure
From Airports and Tills comes a wail
How many hours can we endure?

Chaos comes again, bubbling out
Bad code and failure in one line
Computers fail, this is a route
Dependency by our design

A warning note for us to heed
Or our world may fail indeed
