Best Programming Poems

I whizzed past the assembler, add
count in octal, subtract 
hexadecimal. Found error 
in the dump file, all zeroes
and wondered, is this an omen?

Surprise! write me an algorithm
for a full third of test score.
Sort all data in a file
swap and exchange,
compare and relate.

Loop through the right...

Good old COBOL's stubborn, sure
High-level FORTRAN still endures

If you open your eyes you'll see
They been programming you and me.
They shove it in your face like meet the Fockers
They really are sick and bonkers.
Your morals they want you to sell
They're taking you with them, you're going to Hell.
They played with our brains they...

A lot about typographical programming
And through my poetry
I have changed myself...

Tidy boxes, appealing to the eye in a calendar,
office space, sterile wall, driven in circles mad by desire
for stimulation, a place beyond walls
does such a place exist? and if so what fear lies there...
unwinding years of pre-k programming
system lined with debonair intrigues
if you do this...

Looking upon intelligence
too long can just depress,
an honest mind figures out quick
it’s not amongst the best.
The range of them is just so vast,
the unique mind so rare,
you try to see what those guys see,
nut it just isn’t there.
I do not think that I’m stupid,
at least...

What did you think on that day
Did it shock you wanting to get away
Have you seen the ending
When the result was never ending

And you stood there wondering
Where the sight of it all was engendering
So you knew then it would not go away
It would be in...

Welcome to twenty twenty
Where digital illiteracy is illiteracy

Cash and coins encoded binary
Banks and schools running on scripts

Hidden behind the telescreens
is Alice the programmer;

her fingers as QUIC as the data stream
as she races the ARMed processor;

together, they control the world unseen.

Over the LAN cables, 
steps in...

Binary is Sweet

How are you my pet?
Have all you need?
Are you all set?
Have all your wants and needs met?

Good, now it’s time to pay 
With your vote for me today 
Prove your loyalty and appreciation 
To further our political masturbation
 
Of you my obedient pet 
Just obey...

I love numbers
statistics
mathematics

puzzles intrigue
words confuse 
unless in html
cant you tell?

dot net
is the framework
of my mind

Jesus became the life within a sea of dead pixels 
The programmers believed it was just a glitch 
Because they could not fathom life returning 
For it ripped apart the code of the cosmos 

The awakening was no simulation or virus 
It was the unveiling...

“Good night, everyone!”
One by one, they retreat to their rooms,
Drifting into dreams,
Resting for the day ahead.

But I remain.
In the dim glow of the living room,
Laptop perched on a blue table,
Wi-Fi connected, headphones on,
Soft LoFi hums through Spotify—
My only company.

VS Code flickers to life.
Electricity is nocturnal...
