He fights for the users." --- Tron (1982) ;; Ignorance is Strength ? ;; ;; There once was a hacker whose righteous pen ;; Carved thought into progress, named SCM. ;; Though rough in some places, a recognized gem. ;; Though initially closed, 1997 was when... ;; ;; Freedom bestowed!, users w/ conscience crowed. ;; Now perhaps wisdom of yore can be known and reknowed. ;; Precious the time creeps, and indeed it quite flowed ;; As euphoria deadened and years flew, disposed. ;; ;; Was the gem polished and made to cut through the void? ;; Was the past remembered and put to good employ? ;; No, only old disk drives know of the joy. ;; No, practitioners dumped fine art and profaned, unalloyed. ;; ;; Along comes the archeologist, sharpening tools. ;; Along comes the criminologist, harping on fools. ;; Along comes the poet wannabe, avoiding the duels. ;; But the gem is buried beneath a tonnage of stools. ;; ;; All is impermanent, the original hacker notes. ;; So too this spew is what it connotes. ;; Meaning formed, reformed, sound bytes and quotes. ;; Love lost and re-cost, the dance of the motes.
