Saddest Story of the Decade

For the new years, your Codefairy would like to offer a lament. She loves how many people have written brilliantly about the poor, cancer sufferers and or dearest friends we have lost from AIDS. She mourns for the innocents in Iraq, Afghanistan and Rwanda.

Today she feels she must write a lament

How bitter the year begins

You fight and rise to the top

Discarding unworthy opponents

Yet here you are assaulted by the unwashed

You gave them your greatness

You gave them your power

Now they take it and use it against you

You offered your very substance, your life blood

And they sucked you dry and keep sucking

Now, as you lay dying, you beg for mercy

Their very greed pulls more bits than you can supply

Parasitic executives and share holders have devoured your vast resources

Hollowed carcasses of Excite, NCR and too many to list rotting away

You are strong, but weak prey grows scarce

Poor, poor, AT&T

The users of iPhone, sucking at your teat until you bleed

You have given so much, but get no respect in return

Poor, poor, AT&T

Your screams are heard by no one

They mock you by drawing your image as the deathstar

They can not feel your pain

Like Mother Teresa, you are doomed to die in poverty

Those in need, have more than you can give

Your only hope in death is sainthood, if your bones be found

We can see the parallels

De La Vega, overworked, glossed over, assiduous MBA says that AT&T just can’t come up with the bandwidth.

Let us all weep for the lesser fortunate.

Now your Codefairy is all verklempt ….

Talk amongst your selves, I will give you a topic: The greco roman revival was neither greco, roman nor a revival… Discuss
