The haiku shared on DIA's Facebook and Twitter accounts is encrypted using a ROT13 cipher, where each letter is shifted by 13 letters. Learn more about ciphers over on the NSA website!

The decrypted haiku reads:

Bad things love the dark

DIA's torch burns brightly

Sleep tight, free peoples

The United States

Excellence in Her Defense

Through Intelligence

We are DIA!

Intelligence, defending

our nation from threats

Soldiers' lives are saved

Through high quality intel

Families rejoice!

Every soldier

Kept out of the wrong foxhole

Is mission success!

First line of Defense

Premier Intel Enterprise

A new D-I-A

Only in failure

Do we get publicity

Silence our reward

Aiding those forward

Supporting across the spear

One mission, one fight

Collaboration, 

Integrity, Truth, Teamwork,

Excellence portray

Critical Thinking

And structured analysis,

Help support the fray

Agency service,

National security,

Knowledge lights the way
