Verses on Musings of an IT Fossil

Deported From America

Sun, 14 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Original Song with the Original Lyrics

Far
We’ve been marched far
Exiled from a home
Which turned bizarre

Free
We used to be free
We huddle close
Mourning our dead dream

On the boats and on the planes
Deported from America
Never coming back again
Deported from America

Love, don’t it seem so far away
MAGA spreading hate today
Ignorance is the norm
Ignorance is the norm

Exiled, to a shittier place
Make our bed, and collapse in place
Fascist flames now a swarm
Fascist flames now a swarm

Oaths of Dust Buried in Twilight

Sun, 27 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

I pledged once upon a time
To uphold principles quite sublime
Yet at the crux of the long eclipse
The words now refuse to leave my lips

Vestiges of the past are crumbling
Armies of discontent ever rumbling
The time for idle chatter is ending
Nobody cares what they are defending

Blood lust shall soon fill their hearts
The result of decades of false starts
Honesty the antique championed by fools
Violence allows anybody to remake rules

Fuck the Fascists

Tue, 28 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Psychos have taken over
Emboldened like a mother fucker
They believed the lies
Cause they are a bunch of suckers

Bad enough the first time
They wont get a pass for the third
Some idiots shouldn’t vote
Cause they only deal in the absurd

Cutting the poor subsidies
While handing Elon stacks of cash
Do you want a revolution?
This is one way to kick off the clash

Reader make no mistake
These orders are a prelude to war
Guns and ammo wont matter
When we cant feed ourselves anymore

Scientific Reports Call Out

Tue, 03 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Fuck this its pissing me off
This AI shit aint getting nobody off
Scientific Reports, calling y’all out

First off LLMs don’t fucking understand
How to speak to the heart via vocals and band
Scientific Reports, fuck’s that about?

Secondly they just word clouds on crack
Pretending they got brains is just whack
Scientific Reports, you some kinda lout?

Last there ain’t story or love to share
Cause there’s only matrix math up in there
Scientific Reports, losing their clout

Cant Ever Go Back

Tue, 12 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

I had pep in my step
But then I realized
Getting back to the past
Is a big ole pack of lies

We cant ever go back
There is no path
No matter our desire
It dont balance with math

Reality is tough
Shit is going off the rails
River of shit oncoming
Gonna need a lot of pails

Fascists on the march
Sieg Heil like a motherfucker
If you believe this ends well
Youre just a useful sucker

JIRA Board Ballads

Tue, 12 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

99 Epics on the Board Link to heading

99 Epics on the Board
99 Epics on the Board
We take one down, code all around
134 Epics on the Board

134 Epics on the Board
134 Epics on the Board
We groom one out, disagree aloud
2673 Epics on the Board

I’m a Bug Ticket Link to heading

I’m a bug ticket
Easy and quick
Here is my repro
(one eye on git)
Here is my AC
(other eye on my slack)

Lady Mary

Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

She comes in so many forms
But in each her effect is so divine
No matter the delivery
She distills the pain into wine

Human quest for fleeting joy
Seems a cruel joke in a cold universe
Being alive with questions
Is a wonder that evolves into a curse

In those times that I desire
To turn off the crisis and forget
In an effort to escape
All of the learned pain and regret

Process Parley

Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

There is trouble in the world
I wanna solve it
Sadly there is a process to follow
Goddamn we gotta evolve it

I got a fix for the problem
Waiting on a sucker to hit a button
They will gorge themselves on my pain
Like an addicted glutton

Nothing ever changes
Each day brings more of the same
Slowly devouring every urge
I got to keep playing the game

Every solution we devise
Births a dozen more epic fails
Every engineer in the mix
Can tell many sordid sad tales

WordPress Wankery

Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Mullenweg be tripping
Punch drunk and trifling across the web
Preaching that he needs our fealty
Because he is lord and we are mere plebs

WordPress is straight shit
But it managed to set the world on fire
Constant updates to its insecure code
Is the only thing we really requires

Even though he is rich
He greedy like a strung out crack whore
Even though he has it all
He sending bill collectors to WPEs door
