Bonum Certa Men Certa

The European Campinos Award

I'm from Portugal!
He's from Portugal, honest!



Summary: The campinos (peasants) of Europe shall gather around for another ceremony championing farmers and nurses... or not

TYRANNOSAURUS Theranos

Open your thesaurus Prepare the abacus Don't be quite so raucous

Professor Campinos in a tux The media he has paid $15 million bucks Because investigative journalism sucks Corruption evidence filling up trucks

Patents are inventions Those were the intentions Of those who live in mansions Societal aberrations

Inventions are patent monopolies For those who govern the metropolis Patents on tomatoes and broccolis Invented by humans like syphilis

"The media shall be bombarded in May"Everything deemed a patent For those without a talent

Trolling as a "right" Creators the trolls must fight Eternally eager to bite Even just for spite

A ceremony at stakeholders' expense To cover up the mess Just a bunch of webstreams or less Can receive an award naked, without a dress

"European" it's called But recipients are walled US tech giants mulled European programmers appalled

António Campinos said what?!?!Diversity championed aplenty French, French, English, French presidents all about identity Blind obedience for legal certainty Certainty they will shield their immunity

Striking staff escorted away The camerapeople are here today Dissent is not OK The media shall be bombarded in May
