An Unknown Land

 Where do forgotten passwords flee?

Do they reach the clouds, once caged now free,

"I am password1 think about me?"

Do they rest in a collection of lost keys?

Once they unlocked all we sought,

Now forgotten slipping from thought,

I think about the hackers they fought,

Importance of strong passwords they taught.

Do they gather in cyberspace,

A quiet, never remembered place?

Do they lie in a case,

Waiting for us to find them, without any trace?

Do they sigh as we move on,

With new password drawn?

They thought "she'll come back next dawn"

While with a new password, with no worries, she yawns.
