Bonum Certa Men Certa

IBM's Prison of Glass and Metal Cages

Readers Under Diamonds

Summary: A song for the IBM careerists

SLACK we impose

As racial warriors we pose Red Hat staff goes The strategy nobody knows

"It's a fight we can't win"GNU/Linux isn't for our chief The manager who acts more like a thief Swinging like a leaf With the founder of GNU/Linux picking up a tiff

Free software is just Communism Software freedom leads to terrorism Sexism, racism, ableism, and ismism

IBM and CentOS usersPay us all that toll This is how we roll Amid COVID you're on the dole But we must be in control

"Masters" is obscene We're the only master at the scene It's a fight we can't win But the populace is so mean

Don't ask questions They lead to odd directions Like genocidal nations And skirt-chasing managers

IBM StonkFocus on the ethics Ignore our antics Our critics are fanatics We say "hey hi" instead of informatics

Contracts with the Army More revenue than you, dummy! Work for Uncle Sammy Nukes are Double Whammy

Shave each day for work With suit and tie you walk Pretend that we are woke Even if you're just a mindless Stonk

RMSThe enemy dons a beard It's the licence we've long feared Reciprocal licensing well-geared So RHEL clones are easily engineered

Let's manufacture scandals And call ethicists "rascals" Let's make baseless debacles Hyperbolic arguments like fractals

The job is nearly done Monopoly must be won Free software on the run Destroy them before we're bygone
